“Like the tender fires of stars moments of their life together, that no one knew of or would ever know of, broke upon and illuminated his memory.”
“A wave of yet more tender joy escaped from his heart, and went coursing in warm flood along his arteries. Like the tender fires of stars moments of their life together, that no one knew of, or would ever know of, broke upon and illumined his memory..”
“They were like two pieces of a failed star, drawn together by a shared history and a memory of illicit kisses.”
“When I look at my life and its secret colours, I feel like bursting into tears.”
“Throughout his life the memory of that happy day stayed locked secretly in (his) heart.”
