I guess I just process death differently than some folks. Realizing you're not going to see that person again is always the most difficult part about it.

You ought to have the sense of an encounter, the impression of having met someone. In my essays, for better or worse, that someone is me.

Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.
