“Piles of scrapbooks, the cuttings turned by time to the colour of the freckles on an old lady’s hand. Her hand. My hand, as it is now. When you touch the old newsprint, it turns into brown dust, like the dust of bones.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Sing there upon the beach
Till all’s beyond death’s reach,
And empty shells reply
That all things flourish.”
