(Come inizia:) "Partecipare alle feste a New York è come imbarcarsi in spedizioni antropologiche: non sai mai chi incontrerai e cosa troverai. Di recente mi aggiravo in un evento molto alla moda, e, com'è tipico di questa città popolata di gente che punta al risultato, prima ancora di chiedermi il nome mi hanno chiesto cosa facevo.

WILD THINGS IN CAPTIVITY
Wild things in captivity while they keep their own wild purity won’t breed, they mope, they die.
All men are in captivity, active with captive activity, and the best won’t breed, though they don’t know why.
The great cage of our domesticity kills sex in a man, the simplicity of desire is distorted and twisted awry.
And so, with bitter perversity, gritting against the great adversity, the young ones copulate, hate it, and want to cry.
Sex is a state of grace. In a cage it can’t take place. Break the cage then, start in and try.
D. H. Lawrence

La frustration que les gens éprouvent lorsque leur corps n'est pas touché, carressé, étreint et satisfait, les amène à se sentir acculés.
Il suffit que notre santé nous trahisse, que la mort vienne nous effleurer, pour que nous nous sentions envahis par une bouffée d'insatisfaction, que nous soyons saisis par la faim de quelque chose de meilleur.
