"I TOUCH your mouth, I touch the edge of your mouth with my finger, I am drawing it as if it were something my hand was sketching, as if for the first time your mouth opened a little, and all I have to do is close my eyes and erase it and start all over again, everytime I can make the mouth I want appear, the mouth which my hand chooses and sketches on your face, and which by some chance that I do not seek to understand coincides exactly with your mouth which smiles beneath the one my hand is sketching on you."
Julio Cortazar
*because a hand is not just a spider, a hand can be many other things, such as a paintbrush
** probably to paint someone in fact means to create someone
