‘I shall leave the bed as she left it, unmade and disrupted, with the sheets tangled, so that the form of her body will remain imprinted beside mine. Until tomorrow, I shall not go to the bath, I shall wear no garments and I shall not comb my hair lest I efface her caresses. I shall not eat this morning, nor this evening, and on my lips I shall put neither rouge nor powder, so that her kiss will remain. I shall leave the shutters closed and I shall not open the door, lest the lingering memory be carried away by the wind.’

(Chansons de Bilitis, ‘Le passe qui survit’).
Pierre Louys.

... how can we move a finger to preserve ourselves from death, in a world in which love is provoked only by falsehood, and consists merely in our need to see our sufferings appeased by the person who has made us suffer?

Remembrance of Things Past; The Captive; part one, p. 120.
Marcel Proust.

Love for any one thing is barbaric, for it is exercised at the expense of everything else. This includes the love of God.
