Such a delicate web of boughs and knots and air, it made her feel for the bare branches, made her feel she too was a bare branch, all alone in the air, and made her want to possess, to own, the beauty of those branches.

“The relationship itself was a croquette, too much flour and milk patted smooth into something it wasn't.”
Laura Jacobs
