"Sometimes I have the feeling that we're in one room with two opposite doors and each of us holds the handle of one door, one of us flicks an eyelash and the other is already behind the door, and now the first one has but to utter a word and immediately the second one has closed his door behind him and can no longer be seen.

He is sure to open the door again, for it is a room which perhaps one cannot leave.

If only the first one were not precisely like the second, if he were calm, if he would slowly set the room in order as though the room were like any other; But instead he does exactly the same as the other at his door,

Sometimes even Both are behind the door and the BEAUTIFUL ROOM IS EMPTY."

Seemingly twisted and lengthy his appeal to Milena, whom he loved, he is saying something PRECIOUSLY rare and important. ESSENTIAL to 2 lovers. What is that?

What is "The BEAUTIFUL Room that may remain Empty" he cautions her about?

What is ITS' GREAT Significance.

Thank you for any conscientious replies!
