The worst thing

It is pleasant to have been to a place the way a river went. - Thoreau

The worst thing you can try to do is cling to something that is gone, or to recreate it. -Johnette Napolitano

I shall see nothing, - not the golds, the dying sun, The sails that thicken to Harfleur. But holly, look, to lie with you, And broom that blossoms all the year.
