Update on TTW and Yoshi

188. From Anais Nin's "A Spy in the House of Love":

"She was talking about a party at which indistinct incidents had taken place, hazy scenes from which the lie detector could not distinguish the heroine or the victim; talking a broken dream, with spaces, reversals, retractions, and galloping fantasies ... and now it was if all she had said had been written on a huge blackboard, and she took a sponge and effaced it all by a phrase ... and, as soon as it was erased in the mind of the listeners, she began another ... .

"He could not retain a sequence of the people she had loved, hated, escaped from, any more than he cold keep track of the changes in her appearance by phrases such as 'but that time my hair was blond,' or 'that time I was married,' and who it was that had been forgotten or betrayed; and when in desperation he clung to the recurrences of certain words, they formed no design by their repetition, but rather an absolute contradiction.

"She was compelled by a confessional fever which forced her into lifting a corner of the veil, and then, frightened when anyone listened attentively. She repeatedly took a giant sponge and erased all she had said by absolute denial, as if this confession were in itself a mantle of protection. At first she beckoned and lured one into her world; then she blurred the passageways, confused all the images, as if to elude detection."
