but it suits to die in something nostalgic.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“His eye had become minutely exact as to the book and its position. Then he resolved that he would not look at the book again, would not turn a glance on it unless it might be when he had made up his mind to reveal its contents.”
