    ““... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
    Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
    And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
    And says their names, and leaves them where they are.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yoghurt.”
