“No record of her high descent
There needs, nor memory of her name;
Enough that Raphael’s colors blent
To give her features deathless fame.”

“Around her, lovers, newly met
'Mid deathless love's acclaims,
Spoke evermore among themselves

And the souls mounting up to God
Went by her like thin flames.”

Her memory had grown incontinent with age.”

“Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept

Tell her about it.
Tell her all your crazy dreams.
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means.”

“She had to go," said Rose.

"And because of Granddad," added Caddy.

“He loved her.
He wanted her.
He needed her.
And he needed her now.”
