"I mean now to try and see her as soon as I can: or perhaps, on
second thoughts, I had better not; it is better I should behold
her through the eyes of her lover. To my sight, perhaps, she would
not appear as she now stands before me; and why should I destroy
so sweet a picture?this was the excerpt I was looking for
I found it in German but I wasn't sure it was saying what i thought it was,( my german aint 100%) i had to check in englishagain thank U!

but surely he is talking about someone who already has a lover?
or are you a bit on the side crap heheh ;)
- rasko40
or maybe not, he is talking about someone who's picture he has and he is scared to see her as he wants to remain feeling the way he does now... or something.
I'm lame.

just over analytical... which is good :)

Read the book rasko
u'll find out =)and the 'lover' he is talking about is more a symbol of the eye of the beholder so to speak
in german that sentence is
"Es ist besser, ich sehe sie durch die Augen ihres Liebhabers"he speaks of more than one liebhaber/lover/admirer

yes rasko
U are getting the picture....set your romantic spirit free
and give nessdog a big kiss for me
;)
- rasko40

Oh man, that sucks. I use to be a jealous guy, don't think I could stand a situation like that. Not that I'm some sort of Othello... Well, wait, maybe I am after all.
- crap0
I am not a jealous guy at all
I trust her and fuck it,she can do whatever she wants, she's an individual
I just miss her
thats all :)

"she can do whatever she wants, she's an individual
