« Every day she was a different woman.
Sometimes enterprising, sometimes clumsy.
Sometimes exuberant, sometimes shy.
Unsure of herself and determined.
Sweet and arrogant.
She was a thousand women,
but her scent was always the same.
Undoubtedly.
That was my only certainty.
She smiled at me
she knew she could fool me
with that smile.
When she smiled,
I didn’t understand anything anymore,
I couldn’t speak or think.
Nothing, nothing at all.
There was only her all of a sudden.
She was crazy, really crazy.
Sometimes she cried.
They say that in these cases,
women just want a hug,
She, no.
She was getting nervous.
I don’t know where she is right now,
but,
I bet she’s still looking
for dreams.
She was crazy, really crazy.
But I loved her so much. » (Charles Bukowski)

« A tomb is nothing but an empty chest. The one I love is contained entirely in my memory, in a still-scented handkerchief that I unfold, in an intonation that I suddenly remember and that I listen to for a long moment, my head bowed… He is in a short tender note whose writing will fade, in a worn book that his eyes flattered, and his form is seated forever, for me, – but for me alone – on this bench from where he watched, pensive, the Montagne aux Cailles turn blue in the twilight. » (Colette)

« Words have their color and kisses too
Some, with the pale tone of roses with their petals stripped,
Fly away sadly towards the blurred peaks
Where the regret of the frozen memory cries.
Others, last flowers, on the hardened path,
With petals of frost, with corollas dug up
In tears of crystal, are to rusty souls
Of an immaculate white under the darkened sky.
Some have the discreet tone of violets;
Others, almost erased, soft and frail skeletons,
Seem to me a swarm of large gray butterflies.
The black kiss of evil bites like a gouge,
But the king of kisses with which my being is enamored
Is your kiss of blood, your ardent red kiss! » (Jane de La Vaudère)
