Jeanette Winterson Quotes
After Nine Nights Must Come Ten And Every Desperate Meeting Only Leaves You Desperate For Another. There Is Never Enough To Eat, Never Enough Garden For Your Love.
So You Refuse And Then You Discover That Your House Is Haunted By The Ghost Of A Leopard.
When Passion Comes Late In Life It Is Hard To Bear.
One More Night. How Tempting. How Innocent. I Could Stay Tonight Surely? What Difference Could It Make, One More Night? No. If I Smell Her Skin, Find The Mute Curves Of Her Nakedness, She Will Reach In Her Hand And Withdraw My Heart Like A Bird's Egg. I Have Not Had Time To Cover My Heart In Barnacles To Elude Her. If I Give In To This Passion, My Real Life, The Most Solid, The Best Known, Will Disappear And I Will Feed On Shadows Again Like Those Sad Spirits Whom Orpheus Fled.
I Wished Her Goodnight, Touching Her Hand Only And Thankful For The Dark That Hid Her Eyes.
