Publisher's Synopsis
So the only time that they find each other is in the act of love, or what we call love, that dividing line between earth and water, that frail horizon between the sea and the sky, that's where they find each other, as dancers, tightrope walkers, close, near, nearer still in that relationship, that sexual relationship, the only one that has any meaning, without which no relationship exists. We're alone.
--In Those Arms, Camille Laurens
- Prayers of Oblivion says "I couldn't care less, give me eros."
