“
But there I would watch through the long afternoons, during those months and years, book in hand, tense as a violin string, and vibrating at the touch of your nearness.

    Using the metaphors of “violin strings” and “ the mainspring of the watch,” the passage vividly depicts the woman's sensitivity and deep affection for her partner. Her love is like tightly stretched guitar strings, constantly vibrating at the slightest sign of the other’s presence. Meanwhile, the partner remains oblivious, like an unnoticing mainspring in a watch, highlighting the emotional disconnect between them and emphasizing her loneliness and sense of insignificance.
