The nights, the nights, especially the first one I spent with Alex! The way that a lover undresses, removes his clothes the first night you spend together, is a clue, a definite clue, to your whole future relationship with him, you know. Alex unclothed himself unconsciously gracefully, as if before no one in a-room made of windows, and then, unclothed—correction: clothed in a god’s perfection, his naked body!-he went from window to window, all the way round the bedroom, drawing the curtains together so that daybreak beginning wouldn’t wake us early from the sleep after love, which is a heavenly sleep that shouldn’t be broken early. Then came to rest in a god’s perfection beside me: reached up to turn off the light: I reached up and turned it back on!
–From Tennessee Williams’s The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore (1962).
