“I keep thinking about that night. I held you close like a secret, afraid you’d slip right out from between my fingers if I loosened my grip. You looked at me like some people look at the moon, or so I was told. In hindsight, I never felt like you knew me. You never knew me at all. And I think that’s what I’ve come to regret the most - I almost gave you everything and you gave me nothing at all.”

“The dawning daybreak strews its roses.”
— Théophile Gautier, from The Cloud; Enamels and Cameos: Poems (tr. by Norman Shapiro), 1852
