(I was looking at everything in the other's face, the other'sbody, coldly : lashes, toenail, thin eyebrows, thin lips, theluster of the eyes, a mole, a way of holding a cigarette; Iwas fascinated-fascination being, after all, only the extremeof detachment-by a kind of colored ceramicized,vitrified figurine in which I could read, without understandinganything about it, the cause of my desire. )
