Gula and Cali lie on their sides, their tiny adder-mouths showing the pink of their palates, their bodies throbbing with lustful and obscene dreams. The sky releases its burden of sun and color. Eyes closed, Catherine takes the long fall that carries her deep into herself, down where some animal stirs gently, breathing like a god. Albert Camus
About This Quote

The two dogs are lying down having sex. The dogs are facing up so their mouths are showing. The sky is releasing its burden of sun and color. Catherine is falling which means she is upset. She is falling deep into herself where some animal stirs gently, breathing like a god.
