“During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)

“I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night!”

“Despite my asbestos gloves,
the cough is filling me with black,
and a red powder seeps through my veins....”
