Octave Mirbeau Quotes
After Two Years' Absence She Finally Returned To Chilly Europe, A Trifle Weary, A Trifle Sad, Disgusted By Our Banal Entertainments, Our Shrunken Landscapes, Our Impoverished Lovemaking. Her Soul Had Remained Over There, Among The Gigantic, Poisonous Flowers. She Missed The Mystery Of Old Temples And The Ardor Of A Sky Blazing With Fever, Sensuality And Death. The Better To Relive All These Magnificent, Raging Memories, She Became A Recluse, Spending Entire Days Lying About On Tiger Skins, Playing With Those Pretty Nepalese Knives 'which Dissipate One's Dreams'.
