An encounter with a book is a matter of chance. I like to be surprised.
"For me a work of fiction exists only in so far as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss,
that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art
(curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm." - V. Nabokov, "On a Book Entitled Lolita"
Whence the name Okyrhoe / Ωκυρρόη:
astronomy ~ mythology ~ astrology ~ orbit ~ pronunciation
