The Writer
And doesn’t a writer do the same thing? Isn’t he knitting together scraps of dreams? He hunts down the most vivid details and links them in sequences that will let a reader see, smell, and hear a world that seems complete in itself; he builds a stage set and painstakingly hides all the struts and wires and nail holes, then stands back and hopes that whoever might come to see it will believe.
Anthony Doerr, Four Seasons in Rome
Borrowed from Nina, thank you.

Now that absolutely appeals, Lydia. I love Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, so very very much. I could wander the halls there forever.
