The million sorrows alive in her gaze

Commuting by bus today. I read an excellent book, Italo Calvino's A general in the library which recently appeared in Finnish. Some of the stories in the collection were so good I had to read them twice, and maybe I return to them a third time. In addition, I took some photographs from the bus window.
