During dinner on his third evening, I felt his eyes on me as I explained Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ, which I had been busy transcribing. At seventeen, being the youngest at the table, I often thought my words went unheard. This made me pack as much information into as few words as possible. Speaking quickly made me seem flustered, as if I were struggling to be clear. After finishing my explanation, I sensed a keen gaze from my left. It thrilled and flattered me; he seemed genuinely interested—he liked me. It wasn’t as hard as I thought. But when I finally turned to meet his stare, I was met by a cold and icy look—hostile and unyielding, almost cruel.
This completely shattered me. What had I done to deserve such treatment? I longed for his kindness again, to laugh with me as he had days before, like on the deserted train tracks, or when I told him that B. was the only town in Italy where the bus line carrying Christ flew by without stopping. He had chuckled then, recognizing the hidden joke from Carlo Levi’s book. I loved how our thoughts seemed to run parallel, how we could almost guess what the other was thinking before holding back the words.
It was clear he would be a challenging neighbor. Better to keep my distance, I thought. Just to think I had almost been drawn to the softness of his hands, his chest—his entire being—his eyes, which, when they looked kindly, felt like a miraculous awakening. You could never gaze long enough but always felt the need to continue staring to uncover the mystery behind their depth.
