评语:“It was all a matter of the eyes. The gaze couldn’t waver, it had to hold everything, both questions and answers. Make promises women longed for you to keep. But the gaze had to be balanced, tempered, just long enough to make its point, but brief enough that if you’d misread a woman she could tell herself that of course it wasn’t what she’d thought, that she’d made it up, that you were a perfectly nice girl who perhaps mistook her for someone else. Without speaking, everything could be asked and known, and you could stay safe from authorities because there would be nothing for spies to report, no reason for the government to recategorize you from A to B class of danger to society, or B to C. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes alive. Keep your body awake and you will know. ”

评语:For every person who knows the roots of tango there will be one hundred people who do not and maybe one day those who do know will all disappear. But the secret lives on, it beats in the drum, and in these syncopations even when the drum is gone, in the steps of dancer who'll never know they're mimicking the steps of an old religion that arrived here in the festering bellies of slave ships like the only bright thing left in hell: a god and goddess dancing side by side the way they used to do before the tango made them face each other and embrace. Then those white people wonder why the dance makes them feel so alive. Don't worry about that. Don't ever try to tell them. Just give them the music and let music take care of the rest.
