Abstract Life, Abstract Love

From the book: * "A dream that develops into a daydream one fine day after an afternoon nap. I had always been enchanted with the classic literature of kings and castles and the wars they fight. I had also been enchanted by what I read and the pictures I saw of the Scottish highland with mountains, castles and its beautiful landscape and had often dreamt myself living there. But, I am from the small hill town and descendant from the tribe where there had been warriors and head hunters..." (Venecia N Sangma) * "I belong to everyone's abstraction / and even I do not know the real nature of people" (Alexandro Acevedo Johns) * "I hope to be the fallen leaf you kindly push away" (Kasiviswanathan Balakrishnan) * "An aromatic, flowery but delicately scented / Passionate pen-and-paper love affair" (Annette Potgieter) * "They touched, healed, and the mountain shuddered. / They kissed, and aged fruit fell from the trees." (Marianne Larsen Reninger) *
