Annie Dillard's essays invite us to pause before the wonderful world. Dillard describes natural phenomena, not by explaining details or scientific intricacies, but by confronting the inner and sensual experience of nature, the experience of awe at an external reality that aims at our insides; The experience of silence that drowns the noise of everyday life. He writes about the South Pole or an eclipse or just a small stone, but what is important is not these events themselves, but our encounter with a huge, humbling and unique experience that we do not expect to be given to us in an essay. Dillard taps into the heart of an endless ocean and gives us slippery fishes that escape the grasp and only literature can make us touch them.
