"The deep still river of her heart hoarded its images, ever reflecting them in the racing current, letting them sink deeper into memory than most of us can."
What she feels is hidden from view, but her emotions send her into reveries unimaginable to mere mortal souls and they propel her to the depths of her desire, causing her to recall those moments of ecstasy.
The surface of the pond may look tranquil with waterlilies floating serenely alongside other flora, but beneath lies another world where the delicate roots provide a kind of veil of filaments for aquatic fauna to weave their way through and find sustenance, if they can avoid being consumed themselves.
Balthazar by Lawrence Durrell; E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1958; Page 53.
