'Embrace the loved one, long, gently, tenderly, madly, caressing her until it consumes, grabbing her violently, as if you were looting it, then putting on riding, digging it, then passionately breathe, drink it, then embrace her again, still cross her And again, until you dissolve, until you get lost in it, until you die in the midst of your arms, it is perhaps not This, purely and simply, the wonder of wonders? '' -Lydie Salvayre
