I've been catching up on the back issues of New Yorker, PMLA, Poetry, and Journal of AAStudies these days. The feeling is like having too much cheese cake-- one piece for an afternoon tea is perfect, but imagine having one after another nonstop for several hours and continuously for several days!
But for moments of ecstasy brought by words like these, I really wouldn't know what's the point of subscribing to all these journals and magazines:
"In the end, we all outlast the object of our adoration, perhaps because passion runs its course more swiftly than other human emotions, perhaps as a result of excessive familiarity with the object of desire." --from a story by Roberto Bolano, New Yorker of Nov 26, 2007
--Isn't the passage simply brilliant?

I like the cheesecake comment. It feels exactly that way! Ecstasy followed by a numb palate, while still tempted.
so glad to see your words here, yi.
