'Yes, alone we are, deeply alone, and always in store for us, a layer of loneliness even deeper. There is nothing we can do to dispose of that. No, loneliness shouldn't surprise us, as astonishing to experience as it may be. You can try turning yourself inside out, but all you are then is inside out and lonely instead of inside in and lonely.' Philip Roth, American Pastoral

" Da, mi smo sami, istinski sami i uvijek je ono što nas čeka  sloj usamljenosti još dublji. Ništa ne možemo učiniti da bi se toga riješili. Ne, usamljenost nas ne bih trebala čuditi koliko god zapanjujuće to iskustvo može biti. Možeš se pokušati preokrenuti iznutra vani, ali onda je sve si preokrenut iznutra vani i usamljen umjesto okrenut unutra i usamljen. Philip Roth, Američka Pastorala

I didn't expect a novel by Philip Roth to be so hearth-breaking. There is something more to this novel that just his ferocious drive to get at the bottom of things and his evident talent as a novelist, something I cannot quite put my finger on...something quite vulnerable in the way it is written. I have yet to finish it, but I'm somewhat surprised by how sad it has made me feel. Exactly why, I cannot say...or perhaps I can but I don't care to. At any rate, I won't go into it any further. The photographs were taken last Saturday. As you can see I was distracted by two adorable puppies which resulted in less time dedicated to  photography, but undoubtedly it was a fun distraction. I believe that animals know an animal lover when they see one. It is not a rare occurrence that their instincts are superior to our own.

Nisam očekivala da bi roman Philipa Rotha mogao biti tako srceparajući. Ima nešto više u ovom romanu osim njegovog snažne potrebe da uđe u srž stvari i očitog spisateljskog talenta, nešto što sasvim ne mogu odrediti...nešto jako ranjivo u načinu na koji je napisan. Još ga moram dovršiti, ali sam pomalo iznenađena koliko me rastužio. Točno zašto, ne mogu reći ili možda čak i mogu, ali ne želim. Kakogod, neću dalje zalaziti u to. Fotografije su uslikane prošle subote i kao što možete vidjeti pažnju su mi odvukla dva preslatka psića, što je rezultiralo s manje vremena posvećenog fotografiji, ali bez sumnje bilo je to zabavno ometanje. Mislim da životinje mogu osjetiti tko ih voli, a ponekad su njihovi su instikti bolji od naših.

  3. Love this post, Ivana, I'm a huge fan whenever you insert a poem or a paragraph from something that you're reading. I especially like the third picture of you, there's something so beautiful and serene about you in that picture.

  5. That is such a lovely piece of writing, and so true as heartbreaking as it sounds.

    As for the photos, you and the puppies both look adorable!

  8. The passage at the very beginning of your article is indeed incredibly beautiful. It makes me sad, because I can relate...I'm sure many can, and that's what makes it so powerful.

    On a happier note, the puppies are the cutest! And I totally agree when it comes to animal instincts! I've never met a child or animal that didn't immediately like me. I think they can feel/sense my unconditional love for them :)

  9. Suknjica je predivna i već vidim tisuću načina na koje bi ju kombinirala :) Slažem se za konstataciju o životinjama... puno su puta humanije i ljepše od ljudi nažalost!

    1. da, ponekad zaista jesu.

      Suknjicu nosim već godinama i stvarno je praktična, a nisam vidjela nigdje neku koja bi bila baš ista. To je valjda prednost tih vintage stvari, baš mi je drago što mi je mama ovu sačuvala.

  10. The two puppies are really adorable so I can definitely see why you are distracted by them! I believe I will be equally distracted if I was there! And the fur cape design of your coat is really pretty, love it!

    1. that's one detail that I really like too. I already had a very similar jacket in green but when I saw this one was on on sale, I couldn't resist.

  11. These pictures are wonderful...so pretty and such cute dogs too :)) Love the scenery too. Loneliness can be great or it can eventually be very sad. We can learn a lot about ourselves being alone, but always being alone can be sad for the heart as sharing experiences and thoughts is an even greater thing. But, I loved this!! Happy Friday my dear, I hope your weekend is bliss xx

    1. It's wonderful to share things but sometimes for whatever reasons we just can't ... I think that is when we feel the most lonely, even if we're surrounded by people who care for us and for whom we care about deeply.

  30. Dear Ivana, I remember often the quote: "You come alone to this world and you leave this world alone." Therefore I can really understand how touched you are by the words from Philip Roth. A lot of people try anything for distraction. I think it helps if we admit what is true ... the lonleliness. But: I'm enraptured by your beauty of the pictures and the pictures in general! Especially the 3rd pictures show a lot of from your beautiful and senseful personality and your deep soul! Wow, you look adorable on this picture and on the others, too! And for sure the puppies are so cute, no wonder that they checked that you are an animal lover :) Happy weekend!
