The woman sat up, frightened, she pulled out of herself, too quickly, too violently, so that her face was left in her two hands. I could see it lying there: Its hollow form. It cost me an indescribable effort to stay with those two hands, not to look at what had been torn out of them.

Oh, Rilke. You're such a poet.

I can't get the image of the torn face out of my...head.
