two-sided face; four-chambered heart

“Djuna wanted to laugh, and forget his words, but he did not allow her to laugh or to forget. He insisted that she retain this image of himself created in his talks at night, the image of his intentions and aspirations. Every day he handed her anew a spider web of fantasies, and he wanted to make a sail of it and sail their barge to a port of greatness.”

-The Four-Chambered Heart (Anaïs Nin)
