"Love is a cunning weaver of fantasies and fables."

"The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone."

"Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us."

"If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble."

"My tongue is broken, a subtle fire runs beneath my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears hum, cold sweat pours down me, a trembling seizes all my body, and I am greener than grass."
