“I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.”
Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven
Song lyrics, Waking Up the Neighbours (1991)
Let's Be Frank (1957)
Context: The ambition of the original Frank had not died; it had grown subtler. It had become a wish to sample everything. The more bodily habitations there were with which to sample, the more tantalizing the idea seemed: for many experiences, belonging only to one brief era, are never repeated, and may be gone before they are perceived and tasted.
