“A Romantic Painting Shows A Heap Of Icy Debris In A Polar Light; No Man, No Object Inhabits This Desolate Space; But For This Very Reason, Provided I Am Suffering An Amorous Sadness, This Void Requires That I Fling Myself Into It; I Project Myself As A Tiny Figure, Seated On A Block Of Ice, Abandoned Forever. "I'm Cold," The Lover Says, "Iet's Go Back"; But There Is No Road, No Way, The Boat Is Wrecked. There Is A Coldness Particular To The Lover, The Chilliness Of The Child (or Of Any Young Animal) That Needs Maternal Warmth.”
