Chapter 12 body and soul
A man and a woman are sitting by a window that opens onto the spring.They are close together.The woman said, "I love you. You were born beautiful, you came from a wealthy family, and you were always well-dressed."
The man said, "I love you. You are a beautiful thought, a thing too detached to grasp, a song in my dreams."
But the woman turned away angrily and said, "Sir, please leave me now. I am not a thought, I am not a thing passing through your dreams. I am a woman. I would like you to expect me to be A wife, a mother of future children."
So they broke up.
The man said in his heart, "Look at this other dream that has turned into a mist now."
The woman said: "Oh, he actually sees me as a mist and a dream, what kind of man is this?"
