About

The fifth door is the door of the fruit-house.

Bunches of grapes hang from strings in front of a sunny bay; each grape meditates and ripens, secretly ruminating light; it elaborates a perfumed sugar.

Pears! Piles of apples! Fruit!

... the fruit clothes itself with flavour; and all urge towards life is enveloped with enjoyment.
