Son Clopper

“He supposed it was always that way with the dead, they slid away before we knew enough to ask them the right questions.”
― Emma Donoghue, Akin

“Then you fall into this area of numbness I call “I don’t care about all this stuff, I’m going to live or die, but not in fear.”
― Michael Zboray, Teenagers War: Vietnam 1969

“Love wins… If we let it”
― Daniel Mangena

“The way was long, the wind was cold,
The Minstrel was infirm and old;
His withered cheek, and tresses grey,
Seemed to have known a better day;
The harp, his sole remaining joy,
Was carried by an orphan boy.
The last of all the Bards was he,
Who sung of Border chivalry;
For, well-a-day! their date was fled,
His tuneful brethren all were dead;
And he, neglected and oppressed,
Wished to be with them, and at rest.”
― Sir Walter Scott, Scott’s Lay of the Last Minstrel
