The lover is one who waits:
A mandarin fell in love with a courtesan. "I shall be yours," she told him, "when you have spent a hundred nights waiting for me, sitting on a stool, in my garden, beneath my window." But on the ninety-ninth night, the mandarin stood up, put his stool under his arm, and went away.
- Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments, p.40, translated by Richard Howard.
