The human body is sexually provocative because it doesn't ever feel free inside clothing. The act of love is a double impasse between two carnal cities, each body hurling itself desperately but in vain against the walls of the other. If they could straddle the walls, they would fall into the great beyond. When we walk in a dense forest everything clings to us. If Cinderella hadn't lost her slipper, Prince Charming would never have materialized.
Accidents make lucky accidents possible.
The mind gets easily distracted in all sorts of ways. The heart is its own exclusive concern and diversion. To penetrate the enigma of the human face we need all the daylight we can get. At night we address a person's body. In the daytime we talk to the face.
