She said men are compass needles, loadstones : after all their restlessness they turn to the far north. Their love is hidden, dark, unknowable as the iron entrails of the earth and always obedient to them; a borrowed gravity which leaves an aftertaste of nails. Nor a movement but a pale principle of movement, like the white lines down the middle of the road.Birth sign: Libra
