"Chilling. Loving it. What's striking to me is that the quality of writing is so simple it feels below average. Where I once considered it off-putting, now it's easy to see it's a perfect choice as it both enhances the concepts – all brilliant from Roman naming to colony-empire relationships, the allegories are genius, the world building is a masterpiece – and makes it readable for young people and non-readers. Genius" — Dec 21, 2025 01:56AM

“Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”

“If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can Ease one life the Aching,
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.”
