Finalmente erano due estranei

At last they were strangers, their pasts were forgotten. They were also strangers to themselves who ha forgotten who or where they were. The library door was thick and none of the ordinary sounds that might have reminded them, might have held them back, could reach them. They were beyond the present, outside time, with no memories and no future. There was nothing but obliterating sensation, thrilling and swelling and the sound of fabric on fabric and skin on fabric as their limbs slid across each other in this restless, sensuous wrestling. His experience was limited and he knew only at second hand that they need not lie down. As for her, beyond all the films she had seen, and all the novels and lyrical poems she had read, she had no experience at all. Despite these limitations, it did not surprise them how clearly they knew their own needs.

Finalmente erano due estranei, il passato si era disciolto. Estranei anche a loro stessi, avevano scordato chi e dove fossero. La porta della biblioteca era massiccia e nessuno dei rumori consueti che avrebbero potuto trattenerli, richiamarli alla realtà, poteva raggiungerli. Robbie e Cecilia si trovavano al di là del presente, fuori dal tempo, privi di ricordi e di futuro. Restava soltanto il brivido crescente della dimenticanza, e il suono di stoffa contro stoffa, e pelle contro stoffa, mentre le loro membra si cercavano nell'inquietudine sensuale di quella lotta. Lui aveva scarsa esperienza in materia e sapeva solo per sentito dire che sdraiarsi non era necessario. Quanto a lei, se si escludono tutti i film che aveva visto e i romanzi e le poesie che aveva letto, non aveva esperienza alcuna. A dispetto di tante limitazioni, non li sorprese scoprire la chiarezza con la quale riconoscevano i propri bisogni.
