“What can be said to spread ecstasy from one person to another? It's a lost detail, a subtle movement at the center of a million coarse ones. It's a vibrating wave connecting seemingly unrelated instants in thematically-linked compartments. It's stepping onto the metro in a new city and eavesdropping on a conversation about someone you know, and remembering the vague miracle of meeting anyone, ever. Ecstasy is recalling something precious lost and not minding at all.”
