Paradosso Dell'amore

David Masters, who faces the tedium of another book signing in New York, longs for some new and exciting departure from the norm. Just when he thought he would never get it, he meets Eva Gallows, a woman of staggering beauty and an eerie sense of familiarity. Her very being compels him to get closer to her, but it's when they finally touch that they both uncover the truth: their lives are fragments, reincarnated aspects of their former selves from days immemorial, and for a love they once shared they were cursed to walk this earth until the end of time...

“The Lovers of dissociated class,

He a noble and she more crass

Are thrust henceforth through time and space

Forbidden to gaze upon the other’s face

Unless the loving man should see

It is his writing that holds the key

To open doors shut in ages old

And reunite the Lovers’ souls.

Forever more will they still rise,

As many times as they have died.

And when the earth blots out the sun

Will then this wretched game be done.”
