In books I meet the dead as if they were alive, in books I see what is yet to come... All things decay and pass with time... all fame would fall victim to oblivion if God had not given mortal men the book to aid them. ↗
Paul D did not answer because she didn't expect or want him to, but he did know what she meant. Listening to the doves in Alfred, Georgia, and having neither the right nor the permission to enjoy it because in that place mist, doves, sunlight, copper dirt, moon - everything belonged to the men who had the guns. Little men, some of them, big men too, each one of whom he could snap like a twig if he wanted to. Men who knew that their manhood lay in their guns and were not even embarrassed by the knowledge that without fox would laugh at them. And these "men" who made even vixen laugh could, if you let them, stop you from hearing doves or loving moonlight. So you protected yourself and loved small. Picked the tiniest stars out of the sky to own; lay down with head twisted in order to see the loved one over the rim of the trench before you slept. Stole shy glances at her between the trees at chain-up. Glass blades, salamanders, spiders, woodpeckers, beetles, a kingdom of ants. Anything bigger wouldn't do. A woman, a child, a brother - a big love like that would split you wide open in Alfred, Georgia. He knew exactly what she meant: to get to a place where you could love anything you chose - not to need permission for desire - well now, THAT was freedom. ↗
Penso che sia incredibile come cambia tutto quando incontri la persona che ami, incredibile quanto velocemente quel a persona ti possa bastare. Ti senti avvolto e riscaldato dal pensiero di lei, tutto diventa più leggero, anche se sei al lavoro e sono le quattro e venti del pomeriggio e fuori piove. Sei in macchina in autostrada, sei stanco, i vestiti ti stanno scomodi, ma pensi a lei e sorridi da solo, poi ti guardi nel o specchietto per vedere se sei abbastanza bel o per lei. Mandi messaggi e se non ti risponde subito è perché è in riunione o non ha sentito, certo non perché non ha voglia. È venerdì sera, la vedi e pensi che sei fortunato perché per due giorni è tutta tua. È tua a colazione, è tua dopo pranzo nel letto, mentre cerchi di vedere un film. Ti dice che martedì sera le va di cucinare per te e che ti aspetta a casa verso le nove, e tu al e otto e quarantacinque fai le scale di casa sua a due gradini al a volta, al egro e innamorato, perché hai voglia di baciarla e di sentire il suo odore. Quando entri in casa sua c’è già un buon profumo e non sai trovare le parole per dire a te stesso quanto sei felice, e quando sei solo in bagno ti guardi al o specchio e ti fai i complimenti per quanto lei è bela. ↗
And this is what living next to a waterfall is like, Safran. Every widow wakes one morning, perhaps after years of pure and unwavering grieving, to realize she slept a good night's sleep, and will be able to eat breakfast, and doesn't hear her husband's ghost all the time, but only some of the time. Her grief is replaced with useful sadness. Every parent who loses a child finds a way to laugh again. The timbre begins to fade. The edge dulls. The hurt lessens. Every love is carved from loss. Mine was. Yours is. Yor great-great-great-grandchildren's will be. But we learn to live in that love ↗

In genere, femeia nu-si insala barbatul si nu-l tradeaza, daca el singur nu-i acela care sa-i strice sau sa-i calce inima singur in picioare, daca nu o dezgusta ori n-o respinge prin micimea lui, prin egoismul lui, prin ingustimea vederilor. Deci, trebuie sa iubesti. Ca ea sa nu se simta numai femela ta, ci faptura cea mai scumpa pentru tine, copilul tau, prietenul tau; poart-o la san, ca sa-i fie cald si atunci poti fi sigur de ea, atunci, cu fiecare an care trece, se va lipi tot mai mult de tine, pana cand o sa va lipiti de tot, ca gemenii siamezi. Daca nu-i dai toate astea, o strici, o dezgusti prin nimicnicia ta si se indeparteaza. Te va parasi de indata ce maini mai nobile se vor intinde spre ea, caci trebuie s-o faca, are nevoie de caldura si de consideratie ca de aerul pe care-l respira. ↗
You have no idea how hard this is for me, but...maybe, this isn't the right time. Not now, in a vampire tower...with them all around." He opened his eyes, giving me a pleading look. "Do you understand...what I'm trying to say?" I smiled. "You're turning red, did you know that?" "Allie!" Zeke blew out his breath in a huff. I laughed, released him and stepped back. ↗
