THE FRAGRANCE
“Étreindre l’être aimé, longuement, doucement, tendrement, follement, le caresser à l’en user, l’empoigner violemment, comme on pille, puis l’enfourcher, le creuser, puis passionnément le respirer, le boire, puis l’enlacer encore, le traverser et le retraverser, jusqu’à se fondre, jusqu’à se perdre en lui, jusqu’à mourir en lui au milieu de ses bras, n’est-ce pas là, purement et simplement, la merveille des merveilles ?”
-Lydie Salvayre -

“Hugging a loved one, for a long time, gently, tenderly, madly, caressing him until he is used to it, grabbing him violently, like one plunders, then straddling him, digging him, then passionately breathing him, drinking him, then to embrace again, to cross and recross him, until merging, until losing oneself in him, until dying in him in the middle of his arms, isn't that, purely and simply, the marvelest of marvels?" 
- Lydie Salvayre-
