No estoy enamorado de ti. Ni siquiera despiertas en mí una de esas nostalgias aberrantes que los hombres de mi edad sienten con la proximidad de una vida joven: eres un ser inferior, Iris Mateluna, un trozo de existencia primaria que rodea a un útero reproductor tan central a tu persona que todo el resto de tu ser es cáscara superflua. ↗

Любовният ужас е сладък и опиянителен, но той има качествата на всеки друг ужас. Той разяждаше, сломяваше неумолимо волята му. И все пак между двете възможности — да не бе срещал Елена в живота си и състоянието, в което се намираше сега предпочиташе втората. Дори по-късно той искаше да преживее още веднъж мъчителната напрегнатост на тия дни, наситени с възторзи и съмнения, с усещането на щастие, което бе непостижимо, на сенки, които никоя светлина не можеше да разпръсне. ↗
