"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul."

"We are dust and to dust return. In the end we're neither air, nor fire, nor water, just dirt, neither more nor less, just dirt, and maybe some yellow flowers."

"And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture."

"Here I came to the very edge where nothing at all needs saying...and every day on the balcony of the sea wings open fire is born and everything is blue again like morning."

"With which stars do they go on speaking, the rivers that never reach the sea?"

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this…"

"Then love knew it was called love. And when I lifted my eyes to your name, suddenly your heart showed me my way."

"Our love was born outside the walls, in the wind, in the night, in the earth, and that's why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know your name."

"About me, nothing worse they will tell you, my love, than what I told you."

"I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her."
