“I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love.”
May 30, 1934
Diary entries (1914 - 1974)
Context: Oh, God, I know no joy as great as a moment of rushing into a new love, no ecstasy like that of a new love. I swim in the sky; I float; my body is full of flowers, flowers with fingers giving me acute, acute caresses, sparks, jewels, quivers of joy, dizziness, such dizziness. Music inside of one, drunkenness. Only closing the eyes and remembering, and the hunger, the hunger for more, more, the great hunger, the voracious hunger, and thirst.

“Soon we will plunge into the cold darkness;
Farewell, vivid brightness of our too-short summers!”
Bientôt nous plongerons dans les froides ténèbres;
Adieu, vive clarté de nos étés trop courts!

But the destroyer of life's calm content!”
