Love, Rain, Snow

The deep joy we take in the company of people with whom we have just recently fallen in love is undisguisable.

John Cheever
Love, People, Justice
John Cheever, Blake Bailey (2009). “John Cheever: Collected Stories and Other Writings”

...the sounds next door served as a kind of trip wire: I seemed to stumble and fall on my face, skinning and bruising myself here and there and scattering my emotional and intellectual possessions. There was no point in pretending that I had not fallen, for when we are stretched out in the dirt we must pick ourselves up and brush off our clothes. This then, in a sense, is what I did, reviewing my considered opinions on marriage, constancy, man's nature, and the importance of love. When I had picked up my possessions and repaired my appearance, I fell asleep.
