Love in the time of Cholera

"To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so diffrent from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heals on the pavment stones, why no one else´s heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not dare approach her for ear of destroying the spell."

Gabriel Garci a Márquez
