“Writing to you is like kissing you. It is something physical,”— Simone de Beauvoir, from a letter to Nelson Algren c. November 1949
A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.
A Single Man (2009) dir. Tom Ford
