AUGUST SUMMER'S END

                                                                August, die she must,
                                                        The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
                                                                September I´ll remember.
                                                        A love once new has now grown old.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PAST - RELICS OF LOVE

JF

                                        "She was for a season, mine, and I was drunk with it."

                                                                                ****


"Sometimes it seems that all that has happened since is less vital than what we were..."


"...That was the time, she perhaps, was not the right person or I was not."


"I cannot think of it without sadness. I think of the day-long intimate hours...The intensity, the closeness."
Salter


"She was all mask."
"It was almost as though she was either  too scared of showing her true personality or unable to conceive of a coherent  sense of self." A. Wilson

"There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another...for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives..."
Cyril Connolly

“I need only hear certain words, see certain gestures, and my thoughts begin to tumble. I despise myself for thinking of her. Even if she were dead I would feel the same. Her existence blackens my life.”  James Salter
