eye sky blue
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
sky feelings harmony
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
sky tree looks
At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.
believe blue sky
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world; yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
brother light sky
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we; justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
cells sky new-day
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
sky indifference

hands sky people

sky lasts knows
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
stars night sky
I looked up at the mass of signs and stars in the night sky and laid myself open for the first time to the benign indifference of the world.
accompany arab beneath evening finish sky slow sumptuous symbols usual writes

future historians modern sentence single suffice
I sometimes think of what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: he fornicated and read the papers.
