A Lover's Discourse
“Am I in love? - Yes, since I am waiting, The other never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn’t wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lote at this game: whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover’s fatal identity is precisely; I am the one who waits. ”
“Reasonable sentiment: Everything works out, but nothing lasts. Amorous sentiment: nothing works out, but it keeps going on.”
