• Composition is a process of combination, in which thought puts together complementary truths, and talent fuses into harmony the most contrary qualities of style. So that there is no composition without effort, without pain even, as in all bringing forth. The reward is the giving birth to something living--something, that is to say, which, by a kind of magic, makes a living unity out of such opposed attributes as orderliness and spontaneity, thought and imagination, solidity and charm.

  Henri Frederic Amiel

  Pain, Writing, Giving

• Forgotten? No, we never do forget:
  We let the years go: eash then clean with tears,
  Leave them to bleach, out in the open day,
  Or lock them careful by, like dead friends’ clothes,
  Till we shall dare unfold them without pain,—
  But we forget not, never can forget.

  Dinah

• For if Jack Buggit could escape from the pickle jar, if a bird with a broken neck could fly away, what else might be possible? Water may be older than light, diamonds crack in hot goat's blood, mountaintops give off cold fire, forests appear in mid-ocean, it may happen that a crab is caught with the shadow of a hand on its back, and that the wind be imprisoned in a bit of knotted string. And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery.
