• listen to me as one listens to the rain, the years go by, the moments return, do you hear the footsteps in the next room? not here, not there: you hear them in another time that is now, listen to the footsteps of time, inventor of places with no weight, nowhere, listen to the rain running over the terrace, the night is now more night in the grove, lightning has nestled among the leaves, a restless garden adrift-go in, your shadow covers this page.

• Everyone understands the pain that accompanies death, but genuine pain doesn't live in the spirit, nor in the air, nor in our lives, nor on these terraces of billowing smoke. The genuine pain that keeps everything awake is a tiny, infinite burn on the innocent eyes of other systems.

• It is the omnipresent rush of water which give the Este Gardens their peculiar character. From the Anio, drawn up the hillside at incalculable cost and labour, a thousand rills gush downward, terrace by terrace, channeling the stone rails of the balusters, leaping from step to step, dripping into mossy conches, flashing in spray from the horns of sea-gods and the jaws of mythical monsters, or forcing themselves in irrepressible overflow down the ivy-matted banks.

  Edith Wharton

• Te duermes con un sueño de clima veraniego,
  te despiertas con el estruendo de la lluvia.
  No hay nada ahí fuera salvo plumas de hierba cargadas de gotas
  y aire lluvioso. La mesa de plástico de la terraza
  ha perdido tres patas de camino a la valla del jardín.
  Las montañas han tenido la sensatez de desaparecer.
  Es el temperamento celta: viento, luego torrentes, luego remordimientos.
  La gloria se eleva como una cortina sobre el agua lejana.
  La vieja casa de piedra, que nos ha guiado a través de la oscuridad,
  atraca en un charco de sombra propia.
  Esa grieta que se ensancha en la penumbra es como la buena suerte.
  Suerte, de la que ni tú ni el mañana podéis depender.

• Con los años de noviazgo y de estar juntos, nos dimos cuenta de que ya no había valor para nada. La gente sólo quiere saber qué comemos, qué diseñador llevo, a quién hemos invitado... Saif y yo decidimos que queríamos mantener sagrada la parte más pura de nuestra relación. Seguimos el protocolo saliendo a la terraza y saludando a los medios tras registrar oficialmente el matrimonio, pero no necesitaban saber más que eso.

• My life has been sadly lacking in snails. I can't clearly remember any first-hand encounters. The best thing I can come up with is second-hand, a passage in Jacques Pépin's autobiography (The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen) in which he describes prying snails from the terrace of his vacation home and cooking them up for dinner.

• It is certainly not then-not in dreams- but when one is wide awake, at moments of robust joy and achievement, on the highest terrace of consciousness, that mortality has a chance to peer beyond its own limits, from the mast, from the past and its castle tower. And although nothing much can be seen through the mist, there is somehow the blissful feeling that one is looking in the right direction.

• Cada mañana, hacia las siete, dejo mi estudio y salgo a la luminosa terraza; el sol ya quema resplandeciente Entre las sombras de la higuera, calienta al tacto el bajo muro de tosco granito. Aquí mis herramientas están listas y esperando, cada una una íntima, una aliada: la cesta redonda para las malas hierbas: La zappetta, la pequeña azada de mango corto... Aquí también hay un rastrillo, a veces una azada y una pala, o dos regaderas llenas de agua calentada por el sol. Con mi cesta y mi pequeña azada en la mano, de cara al sol, salgo a dar mi paseo matutino.
