“Behind the house at the Rue Fossette there was a garden--large, considering that it lay in the heart of a city, and to my recollection it seemed pleasant: but time, like distance, lends to certain scenes an influence so softening; and where all is stone around, blank wall and hot pavement, how precious seems one shrub, how lovely an enclosed and planted spot of ground!”

“Burn the dead meticulously, and scatter their ashes to the four winds of the sky. Burn past actions meticulously, and grind their ashes; the phoenix that rises from these ashes shall be the selfsame thing. Play not with the dead, and caress not their faces.

Mistrust all corpses.”

Hà Lan chọn con đường của cô ấy, còn tôi đứng lại, ôm lấy những ký ức về đôi mắt biếc và những ngày tháng chúng tôi từng thuộc về nhau. Tôi không trách cô ấy, vì tôi biết, có những người sinh ra để ta yêu, nhưng không sinh ra để ta ở bên.”
