    seldom have mothers
    in Irish stories, but they all have grandmothers.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
