Muriel's camellias

        "The camellia against the moss of the temple, the violet hues of the Kyoto mountains, a blue porcelain cup-this sudden flowering of pure beauty at the heart of ephemeral passion: is this not something we all aspire to? And something that, in our Western civilization, we do not know how to attain?
         The contemplation of eternity within the very movement of life" 
                                                                                                 -Muriel Barbary (101)
