—Write to Rohmer



She needs snow-white paper, a blue dress like a fish A
ticking clock
Her pale blue legs melt between the pine ladders
Her singing mouth is placed on the train’s forehead in the rain

When she feels When she is hungry, her
neck is covered with sparkling cherry pits
(they are heavy, with
little honey-yellow arrowheads swimming in them)
when she releases her hands, her
two pale blue eyes always roll down into the lawn and

trees at the same time...
The moving ruins The
green hills are cloudy and sunny,
Claire, Claire,
everything will end perfectly
We are lying in the middle of the hands of the doomed harmless

She walks on the stream of scarabs with her
pinky finger that never repents
She is not on a sunny day, moving the soul
crying in the rain

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.

    Jerome: Five!

    Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.

    Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?

    Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.

  • Aurora, the novelist: She disturbs you? How? Her body?

    Jerome: Yes, the way she looks, since it's all I know about her. We've hardly ever spoken. I find it quite difficult to talk to her.

    Aurora, the novelist: Well, well. She intimidates you.

    Jerome: I feel absolutely powerless around girls like that.
