Blackbirds whistle.
What’s unseen or left unsaid means as much as what’s seen or said, but it takes a level of a familiarity and understanding to fill in those gaps Palomar and his wife understand what’s left unsaid between them, but the two blackbirds whistling presents a more cryptic conversation to him.

The loves of the tortoises
Flashbacks to KSI and mating tortoises.
‘Perhaps the Eros of tortoises obeys absolute spiritual laws, while we are prisoners of a machinery whose functioning remains unknown to us, prone to clogging up, stalling, exploding in uncontrolled automatisms’
Would love be any less complicated if we had smaller brains and shells?
Really liking this, it’s something about Italian authors.

Sword of the sun

‘perhaps it was not the birth of the eye that caused the birth of the sword, but vice versa, because the sword had to have an eye to observe it at its climax’

The naked bosom
This one’s funny, overthinking leads him to walk past a naked woman on the beach multiple times in an effort to not appear as a pervert or be a nuisance.

Reading a wave
“In other words, you cannot observe a wave without bearing in mind the complex features that concur in shaping it and the other, equally complex ones that the wave itself originates.”
How many times do you go to the beach to see the waves but never just a wave?
