“Ah, but I’m not a gentleman,” said the Marquis. “I have it on the best of authority that I am only a nobleman.”
“Good gracious, Vidal, who in the world dared to say such a thing?” cried his cousin, instantly diverted.
“Mary,” replied his lordship, pouring himself out a glass of wine.”

“I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have. But there were none that seemed big enough for it, to hold that swelling truth.

“Patroclus,” he said. He was always better with words than I.”
― The Song of Achilles

“Human life, I realized, got progressively worse as you got older, by the sound of things. You arrived, with baby feet and hands and infinite happiness, and then the happiness slowly evaporated as your feet and hands grew bigger.

It was as if the knowledge that it could slip was the thing that made it more difficult to hold, no matter how big your feet and hands were.”
