The French Lieutenants Woman

2008.07.26
She was the remarkable creature of his happier memories -- but blossomed, realized, winged from the black pupa.

"He took me to a private sitting room, ordered food. But... he had changed. He was full of smiles and caresses, but... I knew at once that he was insincere. I saw that I had been... an amusement for him. Nothing more. I saw all this within... five minutes of our meeting. Yet I stayed.

Soon he no longer bothered to hide the nature of his intensions towards me. Nor could I pretend surprise. My innocence was false from the moment I chose to stay. I could tell you that he overpowered me, he drugged me. But it was not so... I gave myself to him."


John Fowles

P.S Thats my current read. Fascinating how what you read influence what you see.

makaid I agree with your comment. Especially if what we read affects our emotions.

caroleagle Those words... I wonder sometimes how a man can write with a woman's voice and get it so perfectly right. Of course I'm bringing a ton of my own stuff to those words........
and the picture is so full of meaning. Got thunder and lightning here as I write. It fit's.
