What is it women in men require?
The lineaments of gratified desire.William Blake
Once upon a time these two men had been in the same situation; now the difference between them was like the difference between a wish and its fulfillment. The one was what the other had dreamed of, and therefore they did not know one another anymore.

Halldor Laxness
