       "I love Gala more mothers, more than father, more than Picasso, and even more money."
       "I knew that the hour approaches the great test of the great love of the test."
     ... Gala, Galyuchka, Galyuchkinita! From my eyes flooded the bitter, scalding tears, rampant, as children's sobs. And when the tears dried up, I again saw the Gala, leaning against an olive tree in Cadaqués, Gala end of the summer, leaning to pick up a shiny pebbles of mica from the cliffs at Cape Creusa, Gala, swimming for so long that I no longer see her little smiling face. Every one of these pictures, my tears flow back to me more beautiful, as if the mechanism of feeling is a muscle diagram of my orbit, to throw out the last drop of bright vision of my love - citric acid and pallor of memories.
