The Museum of Eterna's Novel

DESCRIPTION OF ETERNA (SWEETHEART SAYS SHE DOESN'T KNOW ETERNA; HERE I’VE NOTED WHAT SHE'S LIKE, SO THAT SWEETHEART CAN MEET HER, SINCE IT PLEASES ME TO APPEASE THE CURIOSITY OF MY CHARACTERS

She has tangled tresses, just as my novel does, with which it binds itself to the reader’s heart. She’s tall, shapely, with black eyes and hair. Eterna cannot be described in any other manner than this:

Whoever comes before her loses the power of forgetting. And he who is able to forget her is crippled.

Whoever cannot forget her remains, understands her and loves her without resignation.

And whomever she gives her love is given what nobody has ever had until now: a Past, what he most wanted, what changes his history.

She is so delicate, so just and simple, and her happiness is so without infatuation, that any one, no matter how monstrous, can beg happiness of her.

She’s farthest of all from sensation.

Whoever sees her must by the second day understand her mystery and his own Eternity.

Many can give you a future, but only she can give you a happy past. And even then, she also gives you a future, because you’ll never lose anything again, or know anything again.
