• Then Carol slipped her arm under her neck, and all the length of their bodies touched fitting as if something had prearranged it. Happiness was like a green vine spreading through her, stretching fine tendrils, bearing flowers through her flesh.

• Lloré amargamente, rindiéndome momentáneamente a mi miedo y a mi confusión desconsolada, pero poco a poco empecé a calmarme un poco, mientras Jamie me acariciaba el cuello y la espalda, ofreciéndome el consuelo de su amplio y cálido pecho. Mis sollozos disminuyeron y empecé a calmarme, apoyándome cansada en la curva de su hombro. No me extraña que se le dieran tan bien los caballos, pensé sin aliento, sintiendo sus dedos frotándome suavemente detrás de las orejas y escuchando su discurso tranquilizador e incomprensible. Si yo fuera un caballo, le dejaría montarme a cualquier parte.

• El tiempo pasa demasiado deprisa: cada letra que trazo me dice con qué rapidez la vida sigue a mi pluma; los días y las horas de ella, más preciosos, ¡querida Jenny! que los rubíes de tu cuello, vuelan sobre nuestras cabezas como ligeras nubes de un día ventoso, para no volver nunca más -- todo presiona -- mientras tú retuerces ese candado, -- ¡mira! se vuelve gris; y cada vez que beso tu mano para decirte adiós, y cada ausencia que le sigue, ¡son preludios de esa separación eterna que pronto vamos a hacer!

• Qué poco fiable es el tiempo: cuando quiero que vuele, las horas se me pegan como pegamento. Y qué cambiante es también. El tiempo es la cuerda que ata nuestras vidas en paquetes de años y meses. O una goma elástica que se estira a nuestro antojo. El tiempo puede ser la bonita cinta en el pelo de una niña. O las líneas de tu cara, robándote tu color juvenil y tu pelo. .... Pero al final, el tiempo es una soga alrededor del cuello, que estrangula lentamente.

• The color of his pallor, however, was a curiously basic white - unmixed, that is, with the greens and yellows of guilt or abject contrition.
