Franz Kafka
“And all the time it's raining outside and doesn't look as though it will ever stop. Doesn't worry me at all, I'm under cover and am only embarrassed to eat my opulent Gabelfrühstük in front of the house painter who at the moment is standing on the scaffolding before my windows and who, furious about the rain which has temporarily stopped and about the amount of butter I'm putting on my bread, is splashing the windows unnecessarily (which is probably also only my imagination, since he is no doubt 100 times less preoccupied with me than I with him). No, now he is really working in pouring rain and thunder.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Felipe Alfau

Colum McCann, Twist

“I hear rain that sounds like Heaven, falls like favor, settles like glory, covers like mercy, soaks like worship & heals like oil.

I hear rain that breaks like iron, shatters like glass, shimmers like diamonds, redeems like silver and values like gold.

I hear rain that lifts like laughter, bends like shadows, leans like old men, jumps like young men, ignites like fire and glows like coal.

I hear GOD's rain on the edge of this city, on the top of this mountain, in the middle of this valley to the ports of this sea. I know I hear GOD's rain.

Soak us till we swell with mercy.
Drench us till we flow in love.
Drown us till we drink forgiveness.
Wash us till we stand made whole. (Copyright MD)”
Michael A Dalton

“It did, indeed, rain that night, but it was the kind of rain they welcomed on a holiday. As they walked back from supper, big heat-drops began to spot the dusty pavement, and patter onto the parched leaves like grit falling on dry paper. It grew heavier after dark, and they lay comfortably in bed, listening to the steady fall, welcoming every drop that came down while it did not matter to them. But the morning was clear and fine once more, with everything cool and fresh for another sunlit day.
[The Fortnight in September]”
R. C. Sherriff

Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo

“Your memories left footprints on my soul, for though we finished the story, the ink still remains. Those days wait around, like some unfinished melody.

Jayita Bhattacharjee

Jayita Bhattacharjee
“The pull of life is not in the treasures but in the moments when we wonder, what the moon could be whispering to the sky of dark.
The magic lies in the bird songs filling the sunset sky.
Wonders weave as the air gets thick with the scent of rain.
The wonder we chase is woven in the light of heart.
It then becomes a story written in the stars, shining in the eyes.”
Jayita Bhattacharjee
