It's been a rather disappointing few days here in Perugia, so I've decided to take advantage of my last weekend before classes start to escape once more! This time, I'm off to Rome, and just for one night, but the prospect of a little more adventure is making me very happy. Classes start Monday morning, and I've asked for a sfida (a challenge) when I was taking the placement test, so hopefully I'll have my arms full when I get back!
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Comptes d'un Univers Irrationnel et Poétique
Préambule
Bienvenue dans mon univers irrationel et poétique – le monde et les pensées d'une jeune femme perdue quelque part entre ses rêves et la réalité. Comme une funambule, je tâche de marcher bien droit, mais ce n'est pas sans perdre l'équilibre que j'avance sur les chemins de la vie.
A funambule–funambulist in english–is a tightrope walker and féerie means a kind of wonderland, defined in french as an "irrational and poetic universe" Like a funambulist, I attempt to walk on the thin line between reality and dreams, reationality and nonsense, reason and passion, and it is not without losing my balance that I make my way into the world.

I realize that most of the pictures I post as inspiration are provenience-less. Please let me know if you have a problem with any of them and they will be removed.
When posting book quotations, I like to use the date in which the work was completed, or first published, to place it in a historical timeline, but the page numbers will come from the edition of the book that I have on hand.
