'Eros is always a story in which lover, beloved and the difference between them interact.'

tbh i love how the spatial elements of eros are described in this essay – really makes you think about the geometric aspect of yearning / reaching

'Lysias is appalled by the paradox of desire and crosses it out: for him every erotic ‘now’ is the beginning of an end, and no more. He prefers a changeless, unending ‘then.’ But Sokrates looks at the paradoxical moment called ‘now’ and notices a curious movement taking place there. At the point where the soul begins itself, a blind point seems to open out. Into the blind point ‘then’ disappears.'
