"Thus the Vespa
came to be linked in my eyes withtransgression,
sin, and even temptation - not the temptation to possess the object, but
the subtle seduction of faraway places where the Vespa was the only means
of transport. And it entered into my imagination not as an object of desire,
but as a symbol of an unfulfilled desire."
