Daphne Du Maurier Quotes
I Wondered Why It Was That Places Are So Much Lovelier When One Is Alone. How Commonplace And Stupid It Would Be If I Had A Friend Now, Sitting Beside Me, Someone I Had Known At School, Who Would Say: "By-the-way, I Saw Old Hilda The Other Day. You Remember Her, The One Who Was So Good At Tennis. She's Married, With Two Children." And The Bluebells Beside Us Unnoticed, And The Pigeons Overhead Unheard. I Did Not Want Anyone With Me. Not Even Maxim. If Maxim Had Been There I Should Not Be Lying As I Was Now, Chewing A Piece Of Grass, My Eyes Shut. I Should Have Been Watching Him, Watching His Eyes, His Expression. Wondering If He Liked It, If He Was Bored. Wondering What He Was Thinking. Now I Could Relax, None Of These Things Mattered. Maxim Was In London. How Lovely It Was To Be Alone Again.
