Quello era il suo odore.

Ben distinto dal profumo che usava, che, forse, non avrei riconosciuto.

Ma l’odore della sua pelle, quello l’avrei riconosciuto ovunque.

Era una pergamena, e il suo odore inchiostro.

[muhtesemz]

When I talk about unrequited love, most of you probably think about romantic love, but there are many other kinds of love that are not adequately returned, if they are returned at all. An angry adolescent may not love her mother back as her mother loves her; an abusive father doesn't return the innocent open love of his young child. But grief is the ultimate unrequieted love. However hard and however long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels...

One is by one of the world’s most accomplished and stylized novelists, and the other, the one I’m reading now, is by a relative newcomer who is also stacking up raves and awards..

Dla mnie dotknięcie nieznajomej osoby jest równie trudne, jak dla osoby z arachnofobią dotknięcie pająka. Może Ci się to wydawać zabawne, ale tak jest. To jest prawie upośledzenie.
