“A woman is more beautiful than the world in which I live; and so I close my eyes. ”
“The world is a giant eye, staring back at the stars. When it tires, it closes its lids--just as I am doing now--and gives way to dreams, which is why the night is so much more mysterious than the day.”
“As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close my eyes as I descended into Hades.”
“so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you,so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.”
“It is said a virtuous woman is worth more than rubies. But I believe many men discover the hard way that virtue, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.”
“She leaned into me, and when I closed my eyes, I knew I wanted nothing more than to hold her this way forever.”
