—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

  • Jerome: Basically, I love thin, delicate girls. All the girls I've known and loved were too hardy, in my opinion.

    Aurora, the novelist: Hardy?

    Jerome: Lucinde, for example, is quite athletic, though in a way I rather like her sporty side. But if I had a woman made to order, I think I'd give Claire's measurements.

    Aurora, the novelist: Yes, she has a lovely figure. I think she'll grow to be a very beautiful woman. I mean she'll fill out in all the right places. You know, all these slender, pretty girls - I'm sure you've noticed. At 30, very few are still beautiful. But I think Claire will stand up to the onslaught.

  • Jerome: You shouldn't do everything boys ask.

    Claire: I don't do everything boys ask.
