  3. reading poetry, Andreas Embiricos...

    WINTER GRAPES

    They took away her toys and lover. Well then she bowed her head and almost died. But the thirteen destinies like
    her fourteen years smote the fleeing calamities. No one spoke. No one ran to protect her against the overseas
    sharks which had already cast an evil shadow over her like a fly staring with malice on a diamond or a land
    enchanted. And so the story was heartlessly forgotten as always happens when a forest ranger forgets his
    thunderbolt in the woods.

  6. Whoa, two extravagant personalities with, possibly, a little bit of a fright factor in each. I admire your sang-froid! I still haven't had the courage to open my collection of du Maurier from NYRB; I got them on the strength of "Rebecca" and then remembered how scary the thing really was. If we don't hear from you again, we'll understand. :)
