- Epigraph
- A tomb is only an empty box. The one I love exists entirely in my memory, in a handkerchief that's still scented when I unfold it, in an intonation that I suddenly remember and listen to for a whole long moment, my head bent ... (show all). .
. . . and what bitterness at first—but what calm relief later!—to discover, one day when spring trembles with cold, uneasiness and hope—that nothing has changed; neither the smell of the earth, nor the quiver of the brook, nor the shape, like rosebuds, of the chestnut shoots . . . to lean down in astonishment over the little filigree cups of the wild anemones, toward the carpet of endless violets—are they mauve, are they blue?—to let one's gaze caress the unforgotten outline of the mountains, to drink with a sigh of hesitation the piquant wine of a new sun . . . to live again!

A Retreat from Love - Dedication
- To Popeye;
A different dedication this time,
One that's never been done before:
Me,
For the rest of my life.
With all my love,
Olive - First words
- The train rolled relentlessly into the Italian darkness, its wheels chattering rhythmically against the rails.
