David Mitchell Quotes
Eva Knows I'm Terra Incognita And Explores Me Unhurriedly, Like You Did. Because She's Lean As A Boy. Because Her Scent Is Almonds, Meadow Grass. Because If I Smile At Her Ambition To Be An Egyptologist, She Kicks My Shin Under The Table. Because She Makes Me Think About Something Other Than Myself. Because Even When Serious She Shines. Because She Prefers Travelogues To Sir Walter Scott, Prefers Billy Mayerl To Mozart, And Couldn't Tell A C Major From A Sergeant Major. Because I, Only I, See Her Smile A Fraction Before It Reaches Her Face. Because Emperor Robert Is Not A Good Man - His Best Part Is Commandeered By His Unperformed Music - But She Gives Me That Rarest Smile, Anyway. Because We Listened To Nightjars. Because Her Laughter Spurts Through A Blowhole In The Top Of Her Head And Sprays All Over The Morning. Because A Man Like Me Has No Business With This Substance "beauty," Yet Here She Is, In These Soundproof Chambers Of My Heart.
