the perfect marriage

When I was 14 I fell madly in love with author Patricia Mckillip. Her fantasy prose touched me in a way that Tolkien or Rowling never could. I have since read everything she's written and my already colorful imagination will never be the same.

While reading my first Mckillip book (Alphabet of Thorne) I was lucky enough to stumble upon the band Eisley whose fanciful melodies were the perfect marriage to the rich worlds introduced to me by Mckillip. With my overly sentimental heart I always look back on that time as something really extraordinary and harmonious to which I like to return now and then for peace of mind.

Eisley - Marvelous Things

Oh what marvelous things but they are giving me the creeps.
