"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls." - Anais Nin

    I confess I first read 'Little Birds' many years ago with no literary intent whatsover. It was the sex which attracted me - well, I was a testosterone-riddled young man.

    However even a callow youth as I was could not fail to see the quality of the literature - and the startlingly vibrant personality of the writer - and my perception and interest flipped a full 180 degrees so that I was more attracted to the superb writing and the energy and vivacity of this remarkable woman so the the sexual content became a [very pleasant] bonus.

    Instructive too ... I needed to learn about the sexuality of women. I hope I was an able pupil [I did apply myself as best I could], I know I was an enthusiastic one.

      You and everybody else, Mike. I am quite sure you were - and still are - an apt pupil, and that women along your knowledgeable path were quite pleased you'd read between the lines. And the curves. After all, as George Eliot said, "A woman's hopes are woven of sunbeams."

    "While wearing the costume of utter femininity, the veils and the combs, the gloves and the perfumes, the muffs and the heels of femininity, she nevertheless disguised in herself an active lover of the world, the one was was actively roused by the object of his love, the one who was made strong as man is made strong in the center of his being by the softness of his love." ...
