isak dinesen

ok, so today is isak dinesen's birthday......and her life was so tragic.......she fell in love with the son of a count, but he refused to marry her, so she married his twin brother as a way to get revenge..........and from him she caught a std.........and left her on her own in their african coffee plantation...............where she wrote the stories that would become out of africa.................when hemingway won the nobel prize for literature, he commented that the prize should have gone to her...........a quote i appreciate..........Dinesen said, "All sorrows can be borne, if you put them into a story."
