"Now Juliet lay still and looked at the map of Venice that hung in a frame on the wall opposite their bed. She looked at the intestinal canals all held against each other in a knot. Now, just as the stone walls of Venice endured the dark water that lay between them, and the water endured its confinement in the twisting walls that held it there, and as their eternal involvement was something that had a name, a being, a kind of beauty, so Juliet could endure the coming day."
– Rachel Cusk, from the novel Arlington Park (2006)
