That's how I lost them all, I had wanted far too much.”
― From Out of Feldspar

“The passing of time purifies the past, soothes the pain of the heart but some types of pain can never go away. In this room, time has stopped, it has stopped at that time.”

“Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.
'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis

Ruin is formal—Devil's work
Consecutive and slow—
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping—is Crash's law.”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

And they're usually the five boldest strokes in the painting. The question is, of course, is which five strokes?”
