"To be loved like that makes all the difference. It does not lessen the terror of the fall, but it gives a new perspective on what that terror means. I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, the one thing powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity." Paul Auster (Moon Palace)

Sintra, Palácio, Castelo, by night

"We grow accustomed to the Dark
When light is put away
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye"
(E. Dickinson)
