Try to capture what you can't bear to be without
Wherever you look there is so much loss and folly to contemplate.
Anything that makes it easier to understand, makes it a little easier to bear.
Christmas works like glue, it keeps us all sticking together.
Death, when it's right there it doesn't seem too huge and terrible to let into your mind.
I am not afraid of death, which after all can't be far away. What does frighten me, though, is the halfway stage.
