Kazuo Ishiguro
“The giant, once buried, now stirs. When soon he rises, as surely he will, the friendly bonds between us will prove as knots young girls make with the stems of small flowers. Men will burn their neighbours' houses by night. Hang children fro trees at dawn. The rivers will stink with corpses bloated from their days of voyaging. And even as they move on, our armies will grow larger, swollen by anger and thirst for vengeance. For you Britons, it'll be as a ball of fire rolls towards you. You'll flee or perish. And country by country, this will become a new land, a Saxon land, with no more trace of your people's time here than a flock or two of sheep wandering the hills untended.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

Louise Glück
“At first I saw you everywhere.
Now only in certain things,
at longer intervals.”
Louise Glück

“Even before you touched me, I belonged to you; all you had to do was look at me.”

“A wound that healed slowly, but heal it did.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
