Anita Shreve: "Aneh, pikirnya, betapa intensnya Anda mengenal seseoran...

"Aneh, pikirnya, betapa intensnya Anda mengenal seseorang, atau berpikir Anda tahu, ketika Anda sedang jatuh cinta - basah kuyup, jatuh cinta - hanya untuk mengetahui kemudian bahwa mungkin Anda tidak mengenal orang itu sebaik yang Anda bayangkan. Atau tidak cukup dikenal seperti yang Anda harapkan. Pada awalnya, seorang kekasih minum dalam setiap kata dan gerakan dan kemudian mencoba untuk mempertahankan intensitas itu selama mungkin. Tetapi tak terhindarkan, jika dua orang bersama cukup lama, intensitas itu harus berkurang."

--- Anita Shreve

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Odd, she thought, how intensely you knew a person, or thought you did, when you were in love - soaked, drenched in love - only to discover later that perhaps you didn't know that person quite as well as you had imagined. Or weren't quite as well known as you had hoped to be. In the beginning, a lover drank in every word and gesture and then tried to hold on to that intensity for as long as possible. But inevitable, if two people were together long enough, that intensity had to wane.
