Breathing Together: Quotations on the Mystery of Love

Kehl's popular "Breathing On Your Own: Quotation for Independent Thinkers has been very successful for us since its 2002 publication. This new collection focuses on the wonderful and baffling alchemy by which two beings can reach across the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between them, and achieve unity. As in the earlier volume, and unlike most books of this type, all of these quotations were gathered over decades of reading rather than culled from collections of famous sayings. As before, many of Kehl's favorite authors are represented, including Neruda, Rilke, Colette, Rumi, Yeats, Apollinaire and Merwin. This is a book unlike any other on the subject of love.
