“It is one of the curious effects of a too passionate imaginative nature that its forebodings outrun time. So that often when the dreaded circumstance really arrives, it seems as nothing compared to the hours of imaginative misery that went before, as a line that has already burnt will stop a prairie fire.” — Mary Findlater
