Frasi di Jean Rhys

pagina 2

“Ci guardammo negli occhi, io col viso bagnato di sangue, lei di lacrime. Fu come se vedessi me stessa. In uno specchio.”

“If I was bound for hell, let it be hell. No more false heavens. No more damned magic.”

“They say when trouble comes close ranks, and so the white people did.”

“It was the darkness that got you. It was heavy darkness, greasy and compelling. It made walls round you, and shut you in so that you felt like you could not breathe.”

“I have been too unhappy, I thought, it cannot last, being so unhappy, it would kill you”

“Everything tender and melancholy - as life is sometimes, just for one moment.”

“I want more of this feeling - fire and wings.”

“We were alone in the most beautiful place in the world.”
