harvard is a living testament to proust's words that "the only paradise is paradise lost." somehow, four feverish years have dissipated, leaving in its trace exquisite heartbreak. as i peruse images of this campus i feel unbearably homesick... its beauty draws forth such yearning that becomes only more painful as time elapses and distance grows.
it kills me to think of how long it will be before i am here again. it kills me even more to think that i will never really be able to return.
Awww Li, these pictures and your words are beautiful! Too true, we'll never really be able to return because it will always be changing - new people, different times in our lives, even the trees will grow bigger. We will always be returning to the memories, though, I'm sure!
