Her beauty drowned me. As I sat in front of her I felt that I would do anything mad for her, anything she asked of me. She was color, brilliance, strangeness.

Anaïs Nin, from a diary entry featured in Henry and June: From “A Journal of Love” -The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin (1931-1932)

HELEN: I have loved him well enough / to die when he died. But what grace would he have known / in death from my death?

do not tell me i’m an animal. animals are innocent, untouchable, unspoiled. animals are primal and sacred, holy as the rage which thunders within storms and heavens alone. they are as pure as a lonely tear, as a forgotten church of trees and fears, as they slaughter the ones they love - as they bath in their gore. but, i! alas, i! i sin, even with a kiss.
