“How quickly the dead faded into each other,”
“How it saddens me to see how quickly men turn against each other.”
“All things fade and quickly turn to myth.”
“Mine Enemy is growing old --I have at last Revenge --The Palate of the Hate departs --If any would avenge Let him be quick -- the Viand flits --It is a faded Meat --Anger as soon as fed is dead --'Tis starving makes it fat”
“... So this was how it was to be, now: I would do my best to live in the quick world, but the ghosts of the dead would be ever at hand.”
“For a child, parents’ warning is like a rose blooming in the brain; it opens with difficulty and fades quickly.”
