Now I Am Yours

” As ever … a past like marble … like this garden carved in stone, this mansion, its rooms deserted now … these still, silent, perhaps long-dead people … still guarding the web of corridors, along which I advance to meet you, between hedgerows of faces, mask-like, watchful, indifferent … towards you, as still you hesitate … gazing at the entrance to this garden … now, I am yours”
from Alain Robbe-Grillet’s screenplay for Alain Resnais’ Last Year in Marienbad
