“There are those who seek the love of a woman to forget her, to not think about her.”

“La candente mañana de febrero en que Beatriz Viterbo murió, después de una imperiosa agonía
que no se rebajó un solo instante ni al sentimentalismo ni al miedo, noté que las carteleras de
fierro de la Plaza Constitución habían renovado no sé qué aviso de cigarrillos rubios; el hecho
me dolió, pues comprendí que el incesante y vasto universo ya se apartaba de ella y que ese
cambio era el primero de una serie infinita.”

“She said she never wanted to have secrets from me nor from herself, which is why she wanted to write down everything that otherwise would be hard to talk about. As I said, later I understood that someone who flees into honesty like that fears something, fears that her life will fill with something that can no longer be shared, a genuine secret, indescribable, unutterable.”

“Yvonne, then, was the exotic and the sunlit when I could easily have had a boyhood of stern and dutiful English gray. She was the cream in the coffee, the gin in the Campari, the offer of wine or champagne instead of beer, the laugh in the face of bores and purse-mouths and skinflints, the insurance against bigots and prudes. Her defeat and despair were also mine for a long time, but I have reason to know that she wanted me to withstand the woe, and when I once heard myself telling someone that she had allowed me "a second identity" I quickly checked myself and thought, no, perhaps with luck she had represented my first and truest one.”
