“I see the chasm and everything you are was making
My heart into a bridge by which I might get back
From exile, and grow man. And now the bridge is breaking.”
“To laugh (oh, one’ll laugh), to talk upon
Themes that we talked upon when you were there,
To make some poor pretence of going on,
Be kind to one’s old friends, and seem to care,
While no one (O God) through the years will say
The simplest, common word in just your way.”
“It doesn’t really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist’s chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.”
“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.”
C.S. Lewis
