Happiness Quote by Jorge Luis Borges

“Music, states of happiness, mythology, faces belaboured by time, certain twilights and certain places try to tell us something, or have said something we should have missed, or are about to say something; this imminence of a revelation which does not occur is, perhaps, the aesthetic phenomenon.” quote by Jorge Luis Borges — Download Open image
