Quote | “Dariko thought and was not surprised, about why the Hellenian Gods’ Pantheon was so crammed. This Pantheon was a brain-child of the inexhaustible fantasy of the Sothern Coastline dwellers and Dariko did not like it, was gripped with the feeling of loneliness when she remembered the permanent bashfulness of the white-marble-bodied Venus of Milos born of the wave-foams. She preferred primitive terracotta, tanned, wide-hipped peasantry Venuses, primitive, black, full-bodied Venuses, which her father-in-law had brought from Europe” (pg. 192-3) |
