“The tree feels splintery, nasty to my touch; it feels Floridian, more reptile than vegetable, more stucco than stone. I do loathe this state, their Elba.”
“I remember that feeling of skin. It'sstrange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingersstill tingle with it.”
“There is some realm where feelings become birds and dark sky, and spirit is more solid than stone.”
“My vegetable love will growVaster than empires, and more slow.”
“My skin tingled a little where she touched me. I was totally aware of that one spot more than I'd been aware of anything in my whole life. I didn't know if I wanted the feeling to go away or to feel it forever.”
“I certainly will not persuade myself to feel more than I do. I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be more”
