“Arriba en el cielo, las golondrinas trazaban lazos, volaban haciendo curvas y quiebros, se precipitaban de un lado a otro, giraban y giraban, pero siempre con perfecto dominio, como si estuvieran sostenidas por elásticos; y las moscas que subían y bajaban, el sol tocando ahora una hoja, otra después, burlón, deslumbrándola con oro suave en un gesto de buen humor; y de vez en cuando una campana (pudiera ser la bocina de un coche), resonando divinamente en las briznas de hierba... Todo esto, aun siendo tranquilo y razonable, aun estando constituido por cosas ordinarias, era ahora la verdad; la belleza, eso era la verdad. La belleza estaba en todas partes.”

“Arriesga. Cada minuto, miles de personas en lugares diferentes están recordándose. Muchas seguramente a la vez. Otras abrazadas a personas equivocadas. Incluso con puro agobio. El miedo a ser valiente, a equivocarse es lo que evita las cosas más bonitas de la vida. Y equivocarse también es de esas cosas. La ilusión de las sonrisas nuevas llegan de la nada. Y aunque seguramente lloraremos más de lo que vamos a sonreir, siempre merecerá más la pena arriesgarse, que quedarse con las dudas eternas. Que esas sí que queman. Arriesga.”

“Arrive before your Husband. Not that I can
See quite what good arriving first will do;
But still arrive before him. When he's taken
His place upon the couch and you go too
To sit beside him, on your best behavior
Stealthily touch my foot, and look at me,
Watching my nods, my eyes, my face's language;
Catch and return my signals secretly.
I'll send a wordless message with my eyebrows;
You'll read my fingers' words, words traced in wine.
When you recall our games of love together,
Your finger on rosy cheeks must trace a line.
If in your silent thoughts you wish to chide me,
Let your hand hold the lobe of your soft ear;
When, darling, what I do or say gives pleasure,
Keep turning to an fro the ring you wear.
When you wish well-earned curses on your husband,
Lay your hand on the table, as in prayer.
If he pours you wine, watch out, tell him to drink it;
Ask for what you want from the waiter there.
I shall take next the glass you hand the waiter
And I'll drink from the place you took your sips;
If he should offer anything he's tasted,
Refuse whatever food has touch his lips.
Don't let him plant his arms upon your shoulders,
Don't let him rest your gentle head on his hard chest,
Don't let your dress, your breasts, admit his fingers,
And--most of all--no kisses to be pressed!
You kiss--and I'll reveal myself your lover;
I'll say 'they're mine'; my legal claim I'll stake.
All this, of course I'll see, But what's well hidden
under your dress--blind terror makes me quake.”

I started locking my door at 9:15 second semester.”
