"First I surveyed the little trinkets on the table, her lotions and her perfumes. I picked them up and examined them one by one. I turned her little watch over in my hand. Then I looked at her wardrobe. All those dresses and accessories piled one on top of the other. These things that every woman used to complete herself - they induced me in a painful and desperate loneliness; I felt myself hers, I longed to be hers. -from the notebooks of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar" -Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence
