‘There must always be one thing that is more important than anything else to a person and I think that for me this is freedom, or space. I cannot and will not live in a situation where I feel myself incarcerated. Naturally no one can tell how it will go.’
Space[Karen Blixen]
[On 10 April 1931, Karen Blixen – better known as Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa – wrote a very candid and touching letter to her younger brother Thomas. The letter is long, but this intense excerpt captures well why she felt so at home in Kenya.]
