Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke, Isak Dinesen, was born on this day in 1885.
“Who then,” she continues, “tells a finer tale than any of
us? Silence does. And where does one read a deeper tale than upon the most
perfectly printed page of the most precious book? Upon the blank page. When a
royal, and gallant pen, in the moment of its highest inspiration, has written
down its tale with the rarest ink of all—where, then, may one read a still
deeper, sweeter, merrier, and more cruel tale than that? Upon the blank page.
