“Patrice and Catherine are having their breakfast on the terrace, in the sun. Catherine is in her bathing suit, the Boy, as Merseult’s friends call him, the Boy is in his shorts, a napkin around his neck. they are eating salted tomatoes, potato salad, honey, and huge amounts of fruit. They keep the peaches on ice, and lick the tiny drops which have congealed on the velvety skins. They also make grape juice, which they drink with their faces tipped to the sun in order to get a tan - at least the Boy does, for he knows a suntan becomes him. “Taste the sun,” Patrice said, holding out his arm to Catherine. She licked his arm. “Yes,” she said, “now you.” He tasted too, then stretched and stroked his ribs. Catherine sprawled on her stomach and pulled her bathing suit down to her hips. “I’m not indecent, am I?”
“No,” the Boy said, not looking.” —Albert Camus - La Mort Heureuse (via dreamarchitect)
