Andrew Motion Quotes

Nor can we see the coffin of a person we have known, without experiencing some new shock of loss. In this respect, a coffin is like a mirror, in which we see the image of our own condition, and understand that our human differences, whether of appearance, morality or wealth, must finally be reconciled.

The noise of life begins again, And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain. On the bald street breaks the blank day. Alfred Lord Tennyson
