“... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place

And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
And says their names, and leaves them where they are.”

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (19031990)
“A day lays low and lifts up again all human things.”
—Sophocles (497406/5 B.C.)
