Love had a thousand shapes

"Fifty pairs of eyes were not enough to get round that one woman with, she thought"  [cf. el aleph]

"She was not inventing; she was only trying to smooth out something she had been given years ago folded up; something she had seen."

- Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Proust

"For there were, in the environs of Combray, two 'ways' which we used to take for our walks, and so diametrically opposed that we would actually leave the house by a different door, according to the way we had chosen: the way towards Méséglise-la-Vineuse, which we called also 'Swann's way,' because, to get there, one had to pass along the boundary of M. Swann's estate, and the 'Guermantes way.'" - Proust
