You tended to remember the feeling of what you’d said more than the words. You gave to object away and left yourself with the memory. That was what it was to give.

My God, this novel makes me break out in a cold sweat! Do you know how much I've written in five months, since the end of August? Sixty-five pages!

I shall have to unscrew them, loosen the joints, as one does with the masts of a ship when one wants the sail to take more wind...
