Perception

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
Anais Nin

Anaïs Nin IPA: [ana'iːs nin] (February 21, 1903 - January 14, 1977) was a French-born author of Spanish, Cuban, and Danish descent who became famous for her published journals, which span more than sixty years, beginning when she was eleven years old and ending shortly before her death. Anaïs is also famous for her erotica, which not only proves sensual, but also acts as a study of sexuality in its perfection and flaws.

Her first husband was Hugh Parker Guiler, a banker and artist, whom she married as a young woman in March 1923. Rupert Pole, whom she married in 1955 while still married to Guiler, was a forester and the step-grandson of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After the death of Hugh Guiler in 1985, the unexpurgated versions of her journals were commissioned by Pole.
