“She answered by standing and kissing him first and held his cheeks and closed her eyes and felt sure as bones and deep as blood that she had found her place.”

“No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.”

“Matilda told such Dreadful Lies,
It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;
Her Aunt, who from her Earliest Youth,

Attempted to Believe Matilda:

“She kept her face to the floor, moving in her personal oblivion, her sunflower eyes fixed on the predicament of her life we would never understand.”

“Lover," she whispers, and closes her eyes.
It falls upon her.
Love is like dying.”
