Anna and I did not make love. I don't remember why. Maybe we didn't need to. She might have been afraid, although I doubt she was afraid of much. She'd been a midwife before she opened a studio; she'd held life in her hands, like a wire from a galvanic cell. Maybe death was too strong in me for an act so inspirited with life. Although I sometimes think that death is what gives lovemaking its desperate and terrible joy. . Norman Lock
About This Quote

When we were together, we did not make love. I don't remember why. You might have been afraid, although I doubt that you were afraid of much. You've been a midwife before you opened a studio; you've held life in your hands, like a wire from a galvanic cell.

Maybe death was too strong in me for an act so inspirited with life. Although I sometimes think that death is what gives lovemaking its desperate and terrible joy.
