“Grief is like a drunken house guest, always coming back for one more goodbye hug.”

“There's nothing more difficult than saying goodbye to a house where you've suffered.”

“What if your yard be narrow?
What if your house be small?
There is a Guest is coming
Will glorify it all.”

“The purpose of poetry is to remind us
how difficult it is to remain just one person,
for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors,
and invisible guests come in and out at will.”

“There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And a grief may bid, and evening guest,
Bot joy shall come with early light”

“They're always looking forward to going places they're just coming back from, or regretting doing things they haven't yet done. They say hello when they mean goodbye.”

“… in that drunken place
you would
like to hand your heart to her
and say
touch it
but then
give it back.”

“She's sent the crows out to blind the guests coming for dinner!"

What?"

She's BLINDING THE GUESTS COMING FOR DINNER!"

Well, that's one way to avoid having to dust, I suppose.”

“Do act mysterious. It always keeps them coming back for more.”

“One should always sleep in all of one's guest beds, to make sure that they are comfortable.”
