Although located in the heart of Chongging, one of China's mega cities, Luohan Temple was constructed over 1000 years ago. Its ancient corridors lead to worn stone depictions of the Buddha while its wooden halls wafts with incense and are adorned with hundreds of local colourful deities.

“It is like losing a year of your life. To what would you lose a year of your life? Afterward, you go back to the old place— all that remains is char: blackness and emptiness. You think: how could I live here? But it was different then, even last summer. The earth behaved as though nothing could go wrong with it. One match was all it took. But at the right time—it had to be the right time. The field parched, dry— the deadness in place already so to speak.”

— Louise Glück, from Averno; “Landscape” (via luthienne)
