• Eros is an issue of boundaries. He exists because certain boundaries do. In the interval between reach and grasp, between glance and counterglance, between ‘I love you’ and ‘I love you too,’ the absent presence of desire comes alive.

And it is only, suddenly, at the moment when I would dissolve that boundary, I realize I never can.
