strange pride incites us not only to possess the other but also to. force
the other's secret out of him not only to be dear to the other. but also to
be fatal to him. To play the minence grise gray eminence. in the other's

give an. extra dimension to this experiment by following a man she
barely knows. throughout a trip he is making to Venice. She manages to
locate the. hotel where he is staying. She rents a room opposite so that
she can. observe his coming and goings. She photographs him

Since he might. recognize her she disguises herself as a blonde. But
Carnival holds no. attraction for her and she spends a fortnight

meeting each otherare forever recognizing each other. forever reciting
their identities (just as people who love each other. are forever telling
each other so). Can they be so sure of themselves. Does encountering
the other really prove that he exists Nothing could. be more doubtful.
On the other hand if I followed the other secretly. he exists precisely
because I do not know him because I do not want. know him nor to
have him recognize me. He exists because without. having chosen to I
