So you find yourself surrounded by death and horror in the world, and you escape it into lust. But lust has no duration; it leaves you again in the desert.

Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse (2013). “Narcissus and Goldmund: A Novel”, p.270, Macmillan
So you find yourself surrounded by death and horror in the world, and you escape it into lust. But lust has no duration; it leaves you again in the desert.
