Freddie: I don’t know what it is about you that closes and opens only something in me understands; the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses. Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.

Fanny: I still don’t know how to work out a poem.
John: A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water.
