"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)

Sunset at Palácio Nacional de Sintra

"And then, the sacrament of waiting began
The sunrise and sunset watched with
Tenderness, clothing her with silhouettes"
(M. Wiederkehr)
