My lover is dead

-My dear child , what happened ?

-My lover died .

-Lover ? I saw him this morning . He was full of energy.

-No sisters, believe me .. he is dead. I know when he died. The sun just arose and was shining on him there was deep fear on his face . I saw that .

- That terrifying love. Why does this love feel so thorny ?

- Elena, Lets go home . I want to change everything

"Florentino is so in love with Fermina that he eats gardenias and drinks cologne so that he can know her taste. He becomes drunk on the cologne, and his mother finds him the next morning, in a puddle of his vomit, in a cove of the bay where drowning victims are known to wash ashore" - Love in the time of Cholera
