And I would see her sweet and palpable before me, a shimmering, precious creature soon to grow old, soon to die, soon to lose these moments that in their intangibility promised to us, wrongly … wrongly, an immortality. As if it were our very birthright, which we could not come to grasp the meaning of until this time of middle life when we looked on only as many years ahead as already lay behind us. When every moment, every moment must be first known and then savored.
Beautiful writing! I never thought this book would focus so much on the deep realizations of an individual. It takes you so deep into what it means to be a vampire and the very deep meanings he came to know due to his transformation. I absolutely love this approach and didn't expect it to turn out this way.
