I barely knew I had skin before I met you.

Loved this round of the Tournament of Books http://www.themorningnews.org/tob/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I especially enjoyed reading the after commentary. I agreed with so many of their points. And I keep thinking about the phrase, “blood in the mouth.” Who do you think should have won?

Claire Foy and Anna Wilson-Jones in The Night Watch (2011)
“It was then she said I had grown cynical. I said, that I had always been cynical - she had only never called it that. She had said rather that I was brave. She had called me an original. She had seemed to admire me for it.”— Affinity (Sarah Waters)
You’re not sure? Look at your own fingers. Are you not sure, if they are yours? Look at any part of you - it might be me that you are looking at! We are the same, you and I. We have been cut, two halves, from the same piece of shinning matter. Oh, I could say, I love you - that is a simple thing to say, the sort of thing your sister might say to her husband. I could say that in a prison letter, four times a year. but my spirit does not love yours - it is entwined with it. Our flesh does not love: our flesh is the same, and longs to leap to itself. It must do that or wither! You are like me.
Affinity,Sarah Waters
