Enlightenment by Sarah Perry
Enlightenment
by Sarah Perry
To give love without receiving it is to understand we are made in the image of God – because the love of God is immense and indiscriminate and can never be returned to the same degree. So, if you go on loving when your love is unreturned, it makes you just a little lower than the angels.

Verklärte Nacht - a short story in Maltese
Verklärte Nacht
I occasionally feature on this blog some of my writings in Maltese... such as this short story. Verklärte Nacht was first published on the Facebook page of the literary organisation Għaqda tal-Malti - Universita' after a Valentine's Day call for writings on the theme of love. It is a ghost story of sorts, whose protagonist is haunted by the spirit of his ex-lover who, in a departure from the tropes of the genre, is still very much alive… The illustration is by Pascal Campion whose contemporary pop-inspired works I really love.
