WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR?
LOOKING FOR?
Quote for Today - February 24, 2013
"Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai "Ngaje Ngai," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude."
Ernest Hemingway [1899-1961], The Fifth Column and The First Forty-nine Stories [1938]. The Snows of Kilimanjaro, epigraph.
Question: What are you seeking? Or as Hannibal Lecter keeps asking Clarice in The Silence of the Lambs [1991]: What do you see? What do you want? What do you desire? What do you covet?
