Perseus in the Wind (1948)


The true call of the desert, of the mountains, or the sea, is their silence—free of the networks of dead speech.

The true call of the desert, of the mountains, or the sea, is their silence—free of the networks of dead speech.

The true call of the desert, of the mountains, or the sea, is their silence—free of the networks of dead speech.

The true call of the desert, of the mountains, or the sea, is their silence—free of the networks of dead speech.
