Daily Dose

From Still Life with Pipe, by Jose Donoso, translated by Gregory Rabassa

"I suppose that it must be frequent for things to turn out that way when, after being so eager for it, a person finally finds himself alone with his love: everything is less than what was expected then, more lackluster, less exciting than the illusion."

From Chapter V
