The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things – the beauty, the memory of our own past – are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself, they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

INSTRUCTIONS

Roll the tuna steaks in flour and pat off the excess. Heat a large frying
pan and add the oil. Pan-fry the fish over medium heat, about 1 to 2
minutes per side, and remove to a warm plate. Do not overcook. Discard half
the oil and return the pan to the heat. Add the onion, chicken stock,
vinegar, and black pepper to taste. Saute for about 5 minutes until the
onion just becomes tender and the sauce reduces a bit. Add the parsley and
salt to taste. Spoon the sauce over the warm fish and serve.
Comments: This dish is easy to prepare and simply delicious. But the tuna
must be fresh. Need I tell you not to overcook tuna? The center should be
soft and moist, not dry and firm.
