Feeling lurks in that interval of time between desire and it

Summary

This quote suggests that the intense emotions, or "feeling," exist in the period when someone has a desire or longing for something, but it hasn't yet been fulfilled or realized. It implies that this period of anticipation or waiting is where emotions are strongest, as the individual experiences a mix of hope, longing, and potential disappointment. The quote acknowledges that this interval is a significant and potentially volatile time where one's emotions can intensify before reaching gratification.
