James Baldwin
“The pain was distant now because it had scarcely been bearable then. It could not really be recollected because it had become a part of him. (...) The old pain receded into the home it had made in him. But another pain, homeless yet, began knocking at his heart - not for the first time: it would force an entry one day, and remain with him for ever.”
James Baldwin, Another Country

Perhaps it had never before seemed so much like a haven, so much their own, now that the terrible floodwaters of time were about to overtake it. And perhaps they had never before so belonged to each other… as they did now, burning and sobbing on the crying bed.”

One was continually being jostled, yet longed, at the same time, for the sense of others, for a human touch”
