What matters in the end in literature, what is always there, is the truly good. And -- though played out forms can throw up miraculous sports like The Importance of Being Earnest or Decline and Fall-- what is good is always what is new, in both form and content.

And then ghosts won't be mysteries. They will be like electricity and rainbows and nonstick frying pans. Mark Haddon
We need limitations and temptations to open our inner selves, dispel our ignorance, tear off disguises, throw down old idols, and destroy false standards. Only by such rude awakenings can we be led to dwell in a place where we are less cramped, less hindered by the ever-insistent External. Only then do we discover a new capacity and appreciation of goodness and beauty and truth. Helen Keller
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Nothing in nature is exhausted in its first use...In God,..."
Nothing in nature is exhausted in its first use...In God, every end is converted into a new means. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Second-hand gloves will become lovely again, their memories are what give them the need for other hands.
