Mimosas Quotes

• But that mimosa grove-the haze of stars, the tingle, the flame, the honey-dew, and the ache remained with me, and that little girl with her seaside limbs and ardent tongue haunted me ever since-until at last, twenty-four years later, I broke her spell by incarnating her in another.

• A tall blonde entered the room, wearing a yellow sash that marked her as advocate. Two men followed her, carrying papers. She was lean and long-legged, with a graceful neck and nice ankles, and William took a minute to watch her come down the aisle. She looked high-strung and difficult. Still, good legs. Mmm, smelled of mimosa, too. Expensive scent. Cerise smelled better, when clean.

• Pero aquel bosque de mimosas, la bruma de estrellas, el cosquilleo, la llama, el rocío de miel y el dolor permanecieron conmigo, y aquella niña con sus miembros costeros y su lengua ardiente me persiguió desde entonces". "esta es mi historia. la he releído. tiene trozos de médula pegados, y sangre, y hermosas moscas de color verde brillante. en este o aquel giro de ella siento que mi escurridizo yo se me escapa, deslizándose en aguas más profundas y oscuras de lo que me gustaría sondear.

• Once you cross into the next loyal kingdom, however... be warned. You may not find such a warm reception. The Mimosa Land and its residents are not nearly so accommodating."

• Si me doy el gusto y me entrego a la memoria, aún puedo sentir el nudo de excitación que se apoderó de mí al doblar la esquina de la calle Mimosas, en busca de la casa de René Magritte. Era agosto de 1965. Tenía 33 años y estaba a punto de conocer al hombre cuyas pinturas surrealistas, profundas e ingeniosas, habían contradicho mis suposiciones sobre la fotografía.
