Eros is an issue of boundaries. He exists because certain boundaries do. In the interval between reach and grasp, between glance and counterglance, between ‘I love you’ and ‘I love you too,’ the absent presence of desire comes alive. But the boundaries of time and glance and I love you are only aftershocks of the main, inevitable boundary that creates Eros: the boundary of flesh and self between you and me. And it is only, suddenly, at the moment when I would dissolve that boundary, I realize I never can.

In one family, all goes by two and two. If a member of it has any interest, he or she will confide it to some one other; but the rest know nothing.

This family habit is by far the better, it strengthens the tie between the members, and makes the home one home.
