RKS Literature: Marooned in Love (James Baldwin)

“Barbara and I were marooned, alone with our love, and we were discovering that love was not enough-alone we were doomed. We only had each other, and this fact menaced our relation to each other. We had no relief, we had no one to talk to-far behind us were the days when we had played at being lovers and laughed how easily the world was shocked. We were not playing now, and neither was the world.”

Marooned in Love, “Tell Me How Long The Train’s Been Gone”, 1968.
