Cecil Day Lewis: Cytaty po angielsku
“How selfhood begins with a walking away,
And love is proved in the letting go.”
"Walking Away" (1962), p. 33
Requiem for the Living (1964)
Kontekst: I have had worse partings, but none that so
Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly
Saying what God alone could perfectly show —
How selfhood begins with a walking away,
And love is proved in the letting go.
Thou Shell of Death (1936)

Of such generous glow”
