A few lines from the book:

“Every day, I put together words like a bouquet and present to you. I bring sentences of colored petals, words connected with long slender stems, pain, and joy reduced to the beautiful blooms.”

“The softness of your skin is China silk that ensconces me and fold me in the depths of desire and warmth. You are beautiful.”

“My mind is a bioscope that you and I made, Frieda. I sit back and watch it. Dream it as a new dream. My mind is a gramophone. A new music each day. What makes me happy? Being in love with one woman all my life.”

“Our bodies are seeds, perishable but what comes from it is utterly imperishable.”
