“They kissed as if the universe began and ended there; as if nothing else existed but their two bodies, their two mouths, and the desire between them. Jean was breathless and there was an urgency in her she had never known before. She wanted to eat and drink this woman. Her body danced on a million points, and at the same time it felt so heavy, her desire lurching and churning like a broiling sea.” — Fiona Shaw, Tell it to the Bees (2009)
