….My conception of love was that it was merely another form of man’s assertion, which he makes in every work of art, that life is not ordinary. When I saw a man and a woman in love regarding each other with an intense awareness of each other’s mystery and preciousness I believed that those two had for the time being cast off the corruption of ordinariness which makes most people blind to the miracle of existence. I believed that their sudden vision was like a saint’s or an artist’s vision.
