His hot Italian temper?
I don't know. His hot Italian temper is something I can relate to, of course, but basically is his eyes. I mean, he got these intense, penetrating (notice that I'm using this adjective on purpose, Mick, and you can understand why, since it seems to me that you also choose on purpose all the words you use! ), powerful yet vulnerable dark eyes. Tragic eyes that ask for love and refuse it at one time. They have a world inside. Any eyes got a world inside them, of course, but Al's is deeper, more mysterious and charming. I cannot say more. If charme could be fully explained it wouldn't be charme anymore. And if you consider that I'm generally fascinated by blue or green eyes, this is really something I cannot explain.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
