Italo Calvino Quotes

At Times I Am Gripped By An Absurd Desire: That The Sentence I Am About To Write Be The One The Woman Is Reading At That Same Moment. The Idea Mesmerizes Me So Much That I Convince Myself It Is True: I Write The Sentence Hastily, Get Up, Go To The Window, Train My Spyglass To Check The Effect Of My Sentence In Her Gaze, In The Curl Of Her Lips, In The Cigarette She Lights, In The Shifts Of Her Body In The Deck Chair, In Her Legs, Which She Crosses Or Extends.
