commencé et failli abandonner au bout de quelques pages car apparaît sous mon regard encore empli de sommeil« me murmuré-je à moi-même” et omd, can we not??? je hais quand les marques de dialogues sont écrites comme ça, pitieeeee

« I’m here. I’m here for you, okay? No matter what. You can scream and you can tell and be as mean and self-destructive as you want. Because I know you’re going to be here for me when it’s my turn to fall apart. […] Because you and me? Together? Together Clint, I think you and me are the person we both wish we could be . And I know that person. I know that perso. is worth something. »

oh, kate…

« do the Avengers have an app? They should. I should make it. That’s a million dollar idea, Kate.” »

« Elle se souvient que ses bras sont vides et qu'il y manque l'enfant dont c'est la place. »

« Le commissaire est tout contre elle, la masse de son visage dilatée en un gros plan monstrueux. Elle n'y distingue que le trou de l'œil, noir dans le contre-jour car c'est l'accusée qu'on éclaire, la lampe braquée sur sa face d'animal pris au fond du terrier. Mais en cet instant elle n'a plus peur. Le sentiment du destin l'emporte, elle attend le coup fatal. »

« it was Carol she loved and would always love. Oh, in a different way now, because she was a different person, and it was like meeting Carol all over again, but it was still Carol and no one else. It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and in hell. »

OH OH OH OH MY HEAAAAAAAAART

« Therese smiled to herself. The air was cool and sweet on her forehead, made a feathery sound like wings past her ears, and she felt she flew across the streets and up the kerbs. Towards Carol. And perhaps Carol knew at this moment, because Carol had known such things before. »

oh mon dieu….. je vais exploser………..

« Therese stood up. She couldn't leave Carol sitting here at the table where their two teacups were, with the ashes of their cigarettes in front of her. 'Don't stay. Come out with me.' »

going feral

« Therese looked at her, wanting still to put out her hands, to touch Carol's hair and to hold it tight in all her fingers.
Hadn't Carol heard the indecision in her voice? Therese wanted suddenly to run away, to rush quickly out the door and down the sidewalk. »

elle est vraiment complètement crazy la madame

« puis je ne sais quoi se décuple en moi je charge.
Lèvres sur siennes tremblotantes, agace-ments, morsures, dévient vers l'oreille, dents attaquent le pavillon, langue contre lobe, mains sous le tee-shirt, chair de poule. Doigts qui pincent, remontent au collet, saisissent la mâchoire, et quelle mâchoire, si délicate, semble taillée dans du cristal. Main sur nuque, immobilisation de la proie!»

c’est très fort, car je ne me rends même pas un petit peu compte quand on passe d’un pronom personnel à un autre! ou alors c’est juste moi qui prête pas assez attention à la forme du récit, ce qui est assez nul étant donné que c’est une lecture pour les cours aie aie aie

« L'enfant n'a jamais un pleur plus haut que l'autre, paraît incroyablement satisfaite de son sort, et ce formidable prodige nous effraie avant de nous réjouir, si bien que nous n'avons d'autre choix que suivre notre habitude, obéir aux lignes de la nécessité. Nourrir, s'apprêter, sortir, rentrer, dormir : c'est le corps seul qui avance lorsque nous sommes redevenues
muettes. »

« even as he said he was on no side, and she could feel in him a desire that was actually personal to separate them, because he knew they were together. She had seen just now what she had only sensed before, that the whole world was ready to be their enemy, and suddenly what she and Carol had together seemed no longer love or anything happy but a monster between them, with each of them caught in a fist. »

« Carol was crying, silently. Therese looked at the downward curve of her lips that was not like Carol at all, but rather like a small girl's twisted grimace of crying. She stared incredulously at the tear that rolled over Carol's cheekbone. »

oh lawd 3

« Carol wanted her with her, and whatever happened they would meet it without running. How was it possible to be afraid and in love, Therese thought. The two things did not go together. How. was it possible to be afraid, when the two of them grew stronger together every day? And every night. Every night was different, and every morning. Together they possessed a miracle. »

jesus christ. the way the sex scene is written…. the WAY FUCKING TODD HAYNES SUCCEEDED TO TRANSFORM SUCH POETIC WORDS INTO IMAGES…………. holy molly! this is just tenderness and softness. it’s like melting into the loved one, therese finally discovering parts of carol she actually CRAVED and was obsessed with for weeks. yeah. thank you patricia highsmith!

« Then Carol slipped her arm under her neck, and all the length of their bodies touched, fitting as if something had prearranged it. Happiness was like a green vine spreading through her, stretching fine tendrils, bearing flowers through her flesh. She had a vision of a pale white flower, shimmering as if seen in darkness, or through water. »

« If she simply asked, she thought, Carol would let her sleep tonight in the same bed with her. She wanted more than that, to kiss her, to feel their bodies next to each other's. […] And would Carol suddenly thrust her away in disgust, if she merely wanted to hold her in her arms? And would whatever affection Carol now had for her vanish in that instant? »

« Then she looked at Carol again and saw a sudden stillness, like a shock, in Carol's face.
Therese had seen it two or three times before when she had said something like that to Carol about the way she felt, or paid Carol an extravagant compliment. Therese could not tell if she was pleased or displeased. »

reading that goddamn book on the beach with the sunset lighting the sea as it is crystals…what a dream

« I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me. »

jeeeeeeez….. richard is so much WORSE in the book. he’s such a jealous and insecure boy omg just stfu

« January was a two-faced month, jangling like jester's bells, crackling like snow crust, pure as any beginning, grim as an old man, mysteriously familiar yet unknown, like a word one can almost but not quite define. »

eh comment faut être concentré parfois pour lire, c’est pas possible de lire dans le salon avec le son de 7à8 qui sort à fond de la télé du daron

« 'Do people always fall in love with things they can't have?'
'Always,' »

ah ouais….. je le vois un peu le côté manipulative de book carol dont certains parlaient dans des tiktoks 🥲🥲🥲🥲

« But there was not a moment when she did not see Carol in her mind, and all she saw, she seemed to see through Carol. […] A world was born around her, like a bright forest with a million shimmering leaves. »

« She wished the tunnel might cave in and kill them both, that their bodies might be dragged out together. »

therese, me too, me too

pas supergirl qui tient 9h sur une planète au soleil vert, alors que superman pouvait pas tenir plus de 3/4 d’heure…. et après les gros mascus toxiques geeks vont dire qu’elle est nulle (c’est le wokisme qui nous tue tous!!!)

« "What a strange girl you are.'
Why?'
'Flung out of space,' Carol said. »
