Quotes edit see section history

• “Like a children's storybook, I flew in and out of weeks and through the years -- second star to the right and straight on to a morning that would never arrive. I was in a Dali panting of drooping clocks, a Mad Hatter's tea-party time. No wonder Auden said, "Stop all the clocks"; it was a desperate grab for sanity.”

  Arabella Beatrice Hemming

• “Dylan Thomas was wrong: death does have dominion. Death wins the war and the collateral damage is grief.”
