“All the ways I’ll never have you.”
Lucy Caldwell, These Days
“I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.”
Lucy Caldwell, Intimacies
“In the underground car park, you sit with the children asleep and your husband takes the bags up, turns on the heating, makes a hot-water bottle for your son's bed underneath the draughty window. These offerings, banal and endless, our days going round and rushing from under us; the measure of our love.”
Lucy Caldwell, Intimacies
“You reach a moment, she thinks, where you think: This city is no longer mine; it has been, but I must cede it to a younger generation.”
Lucy Caldwell, These Days
“It’s the vastness of it, Sylvia said. The stillness of it. Can you feel it? The sheer inconsequence of all that we are and all that we do. Here we are—caught in the maelstrom of it. And it will all pass, all of it. That’s what you wanted to tell me? Emma said. I wanted to tell you that we have this moment, Sylvia said. Even in the midst of everything. This moment—and this.”
Lucy Caldwell, These Days
