Baths Quote by Zelda Fitzgerald

“I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardihood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances, and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun.” quote by Zelda Fitzgerald
