“Tijelo me boljelo. Mislio sam na Irene. Tako je bilo svakog jutra. Probudim se i mislim na nju. Događalo bi se da se probudim s osjećajem da je isparila iz mene tijekom noći. Ali odmah zatim ona bi se ponovo uvlačila i cijelog me ispunila, kao da je na meni postojala rupa koju nikako nisam uspijevao začepiti.”

“Førti år no. Ståande utanfor det huset du lovde deg sjølv aldri meir å besøke. Fredagskveld. Somarregn. Junilys. Pusten din. Hjartet ditt.”
