Quote by Thomas Hood

“I remember, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now, I often wish the night Had born my breath away!”

“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. Laugh not at them, and cry not over them: forget them. Trust not things past. Waste not your time crafting beautiful caskets for moments past; think of killing the moments to come. Mistrust all corpses.”

“Khi lớn lên, thế giới không còn là sân chơi, mà là một mê cung đầy những ngã rẽ. 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.”

“Anyway, those things would not have lasted long. The experience of the years shows it to me. But Destiny arrived in some haste and stopped them. The beautiful life was brief. But how potent were the perfumes, On how splendid a bed we lay, To what sensual delight we gave our bodies. An echo of the days of pleasure, An echo of the days drew near me, A little of the fire of the youth of both of us, Again I took in my hands a letter, And I read and reread till the light was gone. And melancholy, I came out on the balcony Came out to change my thoughts at least by looking at A little of the city that I loved, A little movement on the street and in the shops. Translated by Rae Dalven”
