Ernest Hemingway: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (*4)



"'I love thee.  Oh, I love thee.  Put thy hand on my head' she said away from him, her face still in the pillow.  He put his hand on her head and stroked it and then suddenly her face was away from the pillow and she was in his arms, pressed close against him, and her face was against him and she was crying. [...]  'I cannot kiss, I do not know how'.'"

(hoping gary cooper is manly enough ;))
