I think she and I were lovers in a previous life...
"Rene Lalou is exuberant, forcible,loquacious, witty. He
was strongly attracted to me against his own wishes, for his great
equilibrium would move away from my darkness. But his physical exuberance
compelled him. For the first time I am aware of my power over the sane
man--slowly his flippancy and wit mellowed. I saw the crumbling of his
clarity,I saw the mounting of his emotionalism. By the end of the
evening he was Rene Lalou, the man who has Spanish blood in him."

diary of Anais Nin (1932-1934)
