“Justice
A mother will die.
A child will be saved.
A serpent will always bite.

Untouched by the melodrama.”
― Thoughts Between Life and Death

doing absolutely nothing!
I only wish it could turn back
and bring

to experience and see,
fathom and breathe,
live with her and leave
the world on its own,
that night of passionate solitude.”

“When we two parted,
there was no agony in either
of the two
who
lived all our lives together,
so close and near,
and so, so dear
one could hardly guess
one from the other.”
