“There was a limerence for another world that destroyed all joy. I began calling it "limes" as some lovely-dumb nickname. Some days I was "heavy with limes," and more and more days I had none, or one that I could easily throw into the pond.”

“Anything can be haunted if you wish it to be," said one of the preservationists suddenly, like a released spring. "Ghosts are tumors of the imagination. Instead of renovating old hospital, abandoned factories, you permit them to decay. You celebrate stagnant, broken forms and shirk the responsibility to bring them back to life.”

“Only a small part of the preservation work was keeping her together through artifacts. Her paintings, costumes, compositions, letters. The crown jewel- the opera house. All of it, her life in objects, could be gone in a moment, through flood or fire, and they knew that well. Time wins over time.
What survives materiality is a story.”
