"...Of Mad'selle Salle it has been well said, "que tous ses pas etaient des sentiments," and of Berenice I more seriously believed que toutes ses dents etaient des idees. Des idees!—ah here was the idiotic thought that destroyed me! Des idees!—ah therefore it was that I coveted them so madly! I felt that their possession could alone ever restore me to peace, in giving me back to reason.."
A tale where insanity and obssession take all of their "envergure"!!! Nice!

Omg, i didn't see that coming, at first I couldn't understand why were teeth in the cover...

¿Es inexplicable que de la belleza haya derivado un tipo de fealdad?, ¿de su símbolo de paz una imagen del dolor?

De la alegría ha nacido la tristeza. Ya porque el recuerdo de la pasada felicidad es angustia para hoy.

Las realidades del mundo me afectaban como visiones, y solo como visiones, mientras que las delirantes ideas del mundo de los sueños se tornaban a su vez no en lo principal de mi existencia cotidiana sino real y efectivamente en mi existencia misma, unica y totalmente.
