• Hace mucho tiempo, los hombres se hacían a la mar y las mujeres los esperaban, de pie al borde del agua, oteando el horizonte en busca del diminuto barco. Ahora espero a Henry. Desaparece sin querer, sin avisar. Le espero. Cada momento de espera me parece un año, una eternidad. Cada momento es tan lento y transparente como el cristal. A través de cada momento puedo ver infinitos momentos alineados, esperando. ¿Por qué se ha ido adonde yo no puedo seguirle?

• The space that I can call mine.. is so small that my ideas have become small.

Every day the ideas come more reluctantly, as though they know I will starve them and stunt their growth.

• ¿Alguna vez has encontrado el deseo de tu corazón y luego lo has perdido? Me había visto a mí misma, un retrato de mí misma como lectora. Mi infancia: días en casa enferma leyendo Nancy Drew, libros prohibidos leídos en secreto a altas horas de la noche. La adolescencia leyendo -intentando leer- libros que había oído que eran importantes, El almuerzo desnudo y El manantial, Ulises y Mujeres enamoradas... Era como si hubiera soñado con el amante perfecto, que se desvaneció al despertarme, dejándome suspirando y malhumorada.

It is proof of my corporeal existence, my ability to control my movement through space if not time, and the obedience, however temporary, of my body to my will.
