Eros is diabolical: it constantly withholds what it promises, and constantly promises what it intends to withhold.

I don’t want you to do anything alone anymore. I don’t want you to sleep alone, write alone, comb your hair alone, sit alone at a café. I want to become your sleep, your blank page, the comb running through your hair, the cup touching your lips, the empty café where you sit in the morning.
–Margarita Karapanou, The Sleepwalker (Trans. Karen Emmerich)

“I adore you, but I hate you too. You’re a prison smothered in flowers. I can’t stand this enchantment anymore, I can’t stand being bewitched like this–when I look at you, my gaze turns to nothing but a mirror of light, I’ll stare at you hypnotized for ages, and when I stop seeing you I’ll feel you, and when I stop feeling you I’ll die.”
- Margarita Karapanou, tr. by Karen Emmerich, from “The Sleepwalker"

“I want to kiss her, tell her my thoughts. God, I’m ready to love her. I’m burning, I am beside myself. I worship her.”
