"Barking at the moon?"

"What about it?"

"That's all our love was to you?"

"That's all love ever is.
Love is not a harpsichord concert in a genteel drawing room.
And it sure as hell isn't Social Security, Laetrile, the Irish Sweekstakes, or roller disco.
Love is private and primitive and a bit on the funky and frightening side.
I think of the Luna card in the Tarot deck: some strange, huge crustacean, its armor glistening and its pinchers wiggling, clatters out of a pool while wild dogs howl at a bulging moon.
Underneath the hearts and flovers, love is loony like that.
Attempts to housebreak it, to refine it, to dress the crabs up like
doves and make them sing soprano always result in thin blood.
You end up with a parody.
There're lots of pretty sounds that describe 'like,'
but 'love' is more on the order of barking."
-- Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker.

"The most important thing is love," said Leigh-Cheri. "I know that now.
There's no point in saving the world if it means losing the moon."
-- Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker.
