Tenderness Quote by Naeem Murr
““I could feel it in her, that volatile tenderness that could never forget injury. It was her weakness, her flaw-- that she would never confront, but would implacably withdraw. I know you felt it too, that predisposition in her-- and that that, in fact, was one of the reasons for the intensity of your love for her, was why all men loved her, because you could feel her soul through her flesh, completely feminine, incommensurable, urging toward you or recoiling from you with equal ferocity.””
