Two people shouldn’t know each other too well if they want to fall in love. But then maybe they shouldn’t fall in love at all.

“Would I have carried myself with the same swagger, or faced adversity with such feminine resolve, without Albertine as my guide?…I was drawn to a striking, remote face—rendered violet on black—on a dust jacket proclaiming its author ‘a female Genet.’” Patti Smith’s favorite little-known book.

theparisreview:

Rain comes in through the oculus making a splashing circle the swimmers avoid. Without the sun the hall is very dark, very cold. He considers not getting in, but his only alternative is to walk home in the wet. From here he can see partway into the unctuarium—an oiled body shakes under a masseuse’s pummeling. Another is picking a perfume. These are the men who will be wrapped in silk, escorted to their litters, carried away without their feet ever touching the streets. He shivers, jumps in, starts swimming. When his fingers hit the pool-end he surfaces. His hair, brown and curly before, is sleek. Squint and he might be the figure whom he will describe at the start of his poem—Triton, man from the waist up, fish from the waist down, with a heart that can’t tell the difference.
