Preface :

Writing about love, poetising about feelings, talking about the heart, the soul or sex, all this may seem derisory. Except that only a fool would be foolish not to understand that this is the very essence of life.

序文:

愛について書くこと、感情を詩的に表現すること、心や魂や性について語ること、これらはすべて馬鹿げているように見えるかもしれません。これが人生の本質であることを理解しない愚か者だけが馬鹿げていることを除いて。
