Marguerite Duras • The Lover
Je lui dis que son séjour en France lui a été fatal. Il en convient. Il dit qu’il a tout acheté à Paris, ses femmes, ses connaissances, ses idées.
Marguerite Duras • L'Amant (Minuit) (French Edition)
He often weeps because he can’t find the strength to love beyond fear.

"Niels Lyhne"
Rainer Maria Rilke • Letters to a Young Poet

Marguerite Duras • L'Amant (Minuit) (French Edition)
