 | "Evening with F. von W. Once again, it is very beautiful, but I must be careful that we do not fall entirely in erotism, which is actually threatening to happen. Our walks are beautiful and we have excellent conversations: maybe the trick is to get oneself heard. Women have the power to understand everything, to get everything explained to them clearly, the question is whether it can last, whether this understanding is not going to blur and darken very quickly. She is so delicate that one fears to smother her with tenderness or any other feeling. Next time I want to let her know that we're missing too much. It occurred to me recently, strange and fundamental, the problem of femininity and masculinity. With us: the pleasure front-runner, so the slump that follows the enjoyment, with them: the restrospective fun from lack of imagination. Women live in the past, we do in the future, which is why they tend to have more memory than we do." |
