Continuing the Twilight theme I want to share with you this charming piece of poetry which I first met as an epigraph for Eclipse. Of course, Mayer has disgustingly oversimplified its idea.
Sometimes I repeat these words aload. Just for the sake of English sounds on my tongue when I have sung all the songs I know.

Twilight Saga

Twilight is a very odd book, really. Today I realised that recollecting some dialogues from the book I find them extremely silly. It's okey, you may say, as they're really silly. Yes. They are. BUT! How come it never occures to me when I'm in the process of reading? Why do I almost cry when rereding all this stupid stuff about sparkling vampires and modern Cinderella?!
Sort of magic probably. I wish I knew how to do it. Anyway, Twilight is a brilliant example of escapism, isn't it?

I also adore these black-and-red covers and one day I'm going to write a separate post about Twilight OST. And my sister. And many others, tearfully happy moments which come to me when I either see this red apple or hear Carter Burwell's "Lullaby" (and about why Yiruma's "River flows in you" would have been much more suitable).
