“Her hot tears started falling on the snowflake floor. Alexey remained still at his seat. He felt his heart burning with rage while the reflection of the flames was dancing in his eyes. Suddenly, he let a stifled cry and ran after her. He dragged her into the room and drew abruptly the big curtains to hide their passionate kisses. When the light of the dawn appeared, the flames had faded away giving all their warmth to the bodies still lying on the thick carpet.”

“She listened; she heard the dull thumping of her blood which seemed to be tramping on her with a heavy heel. She passed her left hand across the night to feel the man's firm wrist, which was against her right hand. It was all knotted like a gnarled branch. It filled her left hand with warm flesh which was supple and finely nerved. "I can't explain....They all have their women. Such a passion has seized the earth...such a passion!"”

“He was a boy breaking out and into himself at once. That's what I wanted—not merely the body, desirable as it was, but its will to grow into the very world that rejects its hunger. Then I wanted more, the scent, the atmosphere of him, the taste of French fries and peanut butter under the salve of his tongue, the salt around his neck from two hour drives to nowhere and a Burger King at the edge of the county, a day of tense talk with his old man, the rust from the electric razor he shared with that old man, how I would always find it on the sink in its sad plastic case, the tobacco, weed and cocaine smoke on his fingers mixed with motor oil, all of it accumulating into the afterscent of wood smoke caught and soaked in his hair, as if when he came to me, his mouth wet and wanting, he came from a place on fire, a place he could never return to.”

“স্বপ্ন পান্ডুলিপি কাছে রেখে ধূসর দীপের কাছে আমি নিস্তব্ধ ছিলাম ব'সে; শিশির পড়িতেছিলো ধীরে-ধীরে খ'সে; নিমের শাখার থেকে একাকীতম কে পাখি নামি উড়ে গেলো কুয়াশায়, — কুয়াশার থেকে দূর-কুয়াশায় আরো। তাহারি পাখার হাওয়া প্রদীপ নিভায়ে গেলো বুঝি? অন্ধকার হাৎড়ায়ে ধীরে-ধীরে দেশলাই খুঁজি; যখন জ্বালিব আলো কার মুখ দেখা যাবে বলিতে কি পারো? কার মুখ? —আমলকী শাখার পিছনে শিঙের মত বাঁকা নীল চাঁদ একদিন দেখেছিলো তাহা; এ-ধূসর পান্ডুলিপি একদিন দেখেছিলো, আহা, সে-মুখ ধূসরতম আজ এই পৃথিবীর মনে। তবু এই পৃথিবীর সব আলো একদিন নিভে গেলে পরে, পৃথিবীর সব গল্প একদিন ফুরাবে যখন, মানুষ র'বে না আর, র'বে শুধু মানুষের স্বপ্ন তখনঃ সেই মুখ আর আমি র'বো সেই স্বপ্নের ভিতরে।”
