“A bridge is a meeting place… a possibility, a metaphor.”
Jeanette Winterson livro The Passion
Fonte: The Passion (1987)
Contexto: We didn't build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void... For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night? (p.57)
