When @booksofpage proposed the tag #talesintomes about a month ago I was in Toronto, so I couldn't post this great dedication I found in my copy of Justine until now. Swipe to see and read it (I typed it out in the last one). I feel like it almost reads like a preface to the book. A love story to frame a love story. Makes me wonder what happened to them and why this book ended up for sale. ~ Strangely, around the same time I found the same edition I had at home in a $1 bin. So I thought I'd give it away to anyone who has always wanted to read the Alexandria Quartet or to anyone who just really loves/wants this edition. Just let me know if you're interested in the comments 👇and I'll pick a winner in a few days. If you don't want it but know someone who might tag them below! ~ #justine #thealexandriaquartet #alexandriaquartet #lawrencedurrell https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_WQ9GABuB/?igshid=165bhhgw3wb2s

The idea was too delightful to be allowed to melt. #justine #alexandriaquartet

I imagine therefore I belong and am free.

Here, too, at last, on this memorable spot on the faded carpet, we embraced each other with — how to say it? — a momentous smiling calm, as if the cup of language had silently overflowed into these eloquent kisses which replaced words like the rewards of silence itself, perfecting thought and gesture.
