the female quixote

"It was with a bleak and puzzled look that she stared at a sunlit and glittering bush which stood at her feet; for she did not see it, she was seeing herself, and in the only way she was equipped to do this - through literature."

                  - Doris Lessing, Martha Quest

  Oh, Doris Lessing, how I love you.  Tell me more about myself.
