Faut-il relire… Lawrence Durrell ? Écrivain de l’ailleurs et de l’amour, il a fait de son existence le plus fabuleux des récits de voyage.

Dans ma série Faut-il relire...? dans @ledevoir.com, j'explore la vie et l'œuvre de #LawrenceDurrell, un auteur qui est loin de se résumer à son roman le plus connu, Le Quatuor d'Alexandrie.

The sun was back in the garden so I read more of #LawrenceDurrell 'Reflections On A Marine Venus' (today's best line "Two tortoises walked about with a blameless clockwork air"). Found Olivia for a quid in the charity shop; roasted some of Mrs H's allotment tomatoes for tea

“Suddenly one day you awake and realize with complete certainty that ninety-five per cent of the activities of the human race─to which you supposed you belonged─have no relevance whatsoever for you.”

“For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential — the imagination.” #LawrenceDurrell

#Corfu — Nov 2022.

“Somewhere between Calabria and Corfu the blue really begins” — #LawrenceDurrell, Prospero’s Cell.

I loved it there and kept extending my stay. One month became three, and could happily have been many more. Those colours every day; God, I miss it.

The 2021 Faber paperback edition of ‘The Greek Islands’ by Lawrence Durrell.

‘Each day is a brilliant improvisation with full orchestra - the light on the sea, the foliage, the stabbing cypresses, the silver spindrift olives…’

Sadly, I can’t afford a Greek island holiday this year; but I’m there in my head 🇬🇷
