—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

We must all stop dying in the little ways,

in the potholes of indifference....”

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”
