Jeffrey Eugenides Quotes

They Didn't Exchange A Single Word. But In The Weeks That Followed, Trip Spent His Days Wandering The Halls, Hoping For Lux To Appear, The Most Naked Person With Clothes On He Had Ever Seen. Even In Sensible School Shoes, She Shuffled As Though Barefoot, And The Baggy Apparel Mrs. Lisbon Bought For Her Only Increased Her Appeal, As Though After Undressing She Had Put On Whatever Was Handy. In Corduroys Her Thighs Rubbed Together, Buzzing, And There Was Always At Least One Untidy Marvel To Unravel Him: An Untucked Shirttail, A Sock With A Hole, A Ripped Seam Showing Underarm Hair. She Carted Her Books From Class To Class But Never Opened Them. Her Pens And Pencils Were As Temporary As Cinderella's Broom. When She Smiled, Her Mouth Showed Too Many Teeth, But At Night Trip Fontaine Dreamed Of Being Bitten By Each One.
