“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, they’d be all right no matter what.

—John Paxton (1911–1985)
“Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell

For it is a ghost’s right....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
