Sometimes it’s even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your lovers’ face.

You had caught my leaping heart in your hand like a fish.

• Why do we marry, why take friends and lovers? Why give ourselves to music, painting, chemistry or cooking? Out of simple delight in the resident goodness of creation, of course; but out of more than that, too. Half earth's gorgeousness lies hidden in the glimpsed city it longs to become.
