“She opened her curtains, and looked out towards the bit of road that lay in view, with fields beyond outside the entrance-gates. On the road there was a man with a bundle on his back and a woman carrying her baby; in the field she could see figures moving - perhaps the shepherd with his dog. Far off in the bending sky was the pearly light; and she felt the largeness of the world and the manifold wakings of men to labor and endurance. She was a part of that involuntary, palpitating life, and could neither look out on it from her luxurious shelter as a mere spectator, nor hide her eyes in selfish complaining.”

Windows open on a landscapes are a great attraction for me. They let me imagine of unknown lands where nature is the 'Queen'. Then, from a beautiful description of an 'open window' by George Eliot in her masterpiece Middlemarch, I open 'my blog windows' on the magical season of winter imagining to enjoy these views in front of a fireplace, with a steaming cup of tea and a wonderful book in my hands.
Le finestre aperte sul mondo sono una irresistibile attrazione per me. Osservandole immagino terre sconosciute dove spesso la natura è padrona incontrastata della scena.
E così... partendo da una bellissima descrizione di finestra 'aperta' da George Eliot nel suo capolavoro Middlemarch 'apro' quella di questo mio blog sulla meravigliosa stagione invernale sognando di godermi questi panorami davanti al fuoco scoppiettante di un camino, con tazza fumante di tè e un libro tra le mani.
