'It is only when you are torn from your mooring,

when you drift like a rudderless ship,

that I am able to come near you.'

-S.Anderson

'O world, strangled and collapsed, where are the strong white teeth?
O world, sinking with the silver balls and the corks and the life-preservers,
where are the rosy scalps? O glab and glairy, O glabrous world now chewed
to a frazzle, under what dead moon do you lie cold and gleaming?'

-H.Miller

‘(10.) A handsome face is the finest of all sights,

And the sweetest music is the sound of the voice

Of the woman we love.’

-La Bruyere
