      To the Best - Anastasia Volnaya

      Feather and paper

      (Essay)

        The woman – clean standard sheet. The man – a feather. Paper will readily accept words, thoughts, feelings, images entrusted to it by a feather. Paper is capable to store, glorify and immortalize carefully what is entrusted to it by a feather.

      Paper will forgive blots and mistakes. Paper will give the chance to correct the crossed-out lines. Paper, like white wings, with pleasure will uplift  an gist to the sun, expressed on her clean heart by a feather. There is no fertile field, than clean heart of paper. The union of a feather and paper generates the richest shoots, but only when all letters are entitled by words – I love you.
