Isabel Allende Citations

“Elle s'astreignit à se souvenir du froid glacial et du silence qui régnait, de cette sensation sans prix d'être les maîtres de la Terre, d'avoir vingt ans et toute la vie devant soit, de s'aimer en paix, grisés par l'odeur des bois et de l'amour, sans passé, sans avenir à sonder, avec pour seule et extraordinaire richesse celle de l'instant présent où ils se contemplaient, se humaient, s'embrassaient, se découvraient l'un l'autre dans le murmure du vent parmi les branches et la proche rumeur des vagues déferlant contre les rochers au pied des falaises puis explosant dans un tonnerre d'écume odorante, elle et lui enlacés sous un même poncho comme deux siamois dans la même peau, riant et se jurant que ce serait pour toujours, convaincus d'être les seuls dans tout l'univers à avoir découvert l'amour.”
