—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: I don't really have a type. Looks don't matter to me. That is, beyond a certain level of acceptability. All women are equal. It's the character alone that counts.

  • Laura: I was born to be unhappy. But no, I won't be unhappy. I'm very happy. I only think of positive things. People are unhappy because they want to be. When I feel down, I think about how there are happy times and that crying does no good anyway. I think about how marvelous it is to be here and how much fun I'm going to have.

    Jerome: What do you call having fun?

    Laura: Having fun is being alive. For instance, today I'm very happy. Tomorrow I may be sad. So then I make myself think of something else. I concentrate on one specific thing and how fantastic it is, and I'm happy for the rest of the day.
