The fume of poppies

the long version

THE ANATOMY OF A LOVE AFFAIR "In that year at Cambridge I began to realize what it means to make love. When you make love you are molding it by what you are doing, forming it in your fingers and pressing it between your limbs. There love is born at last-and only there. "That is why I do not understand when I hear people talk of love that knows no flesh. I do not think there is any such thing as that." THE FUME OF POPPIES is the youthfully radiant story of two young Americans "who are able to love each other as enthusiastically and as romantically as they please." *THE NEW YORKER*
