ONE LONG LAST LOOK

 

“I had said goodbye to her once before, but it took everything

I had to say goodbye to her then, again, for the last time,

like poor Orpheus turning for a last backward glance at the ghost

of his only love and in the same heartbeat losing her forever:

hinc illae lacrimae, hence those tears.”

 

~ Donna Tartt ~

where ships come home to die…”
