The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers. — Eponine · 2012Francois de La Rochefoucauld1 quote

And you’ll miss me more as the narrowing weeks wing by. — James Joyce · 1939Kakinomoto no Hitomaro1 quote
Though I grieve, there is no help;
Vainly I long to see her.
Men tell me that my wife is
In the mountains of Hagai-
Thither I go,
Toiling along the stony path;
But it avails me not,
For of my wife, as she lived in this world,
I find not the faintest shadow. — Kakinomoto no Hitomaro · 759Philippe Aries1 quote
A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty. — Philippe Aries · 1976
