“I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,
How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me,

And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“We need never be ashamed of our tears.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Scott's mind was racing, struggling to comprehend the events unfolding around him. They were talking about disposing of Twinkle like he was a rusty old bike that no-one rode anymore.”
