Quoting Nora

Labels: Charmed, Nora Roberts, The Donovan Legacy

Thank you for your Visit!

If you like and read Nora Roberts' book you might have stumbled with a scene straight out one of her books happening in real life... I do too - often - and then this blog was born. On the bottom of this blog there is an explanation for the dejá vu 😉 but this is my "excuse" to revisit all the books and enjoy them all over again. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back, it will be destroyed." Agatha Christie.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Clearly Agatha did not know Nora and her powers 😊 as you can return as often as you like and be as happy, or more, than the first time around. At least that is my take. Come with me... Leave a comment please, I love it!

Welcome!

This is my way of honoring the work, skill and vision of Nora Roberts 👑 who enriches my life with amazing people I want to meet (or be), lovely and magical places I want to move into (and do, while-reading-the-book) and stories that are (become?) real. Not only for while-reading-the-book time but in real-life; on people, places, events around us...

... Anti-mimesis is a philosophical position that holds the direct opposite of Aristotelian mimesis. Its most notable proponent is Oscar Wilde, who opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy."

What is found in life and nature is not what is really there, but is that which artists have taught people to find there, through art.

As in an example posited by Wilde, although there has been fog in London for centuries, one notices the beauty and wonder of the fog because "poets and painters have taught the loveliness of such effects...They did not exist till Art had invented them."
