“…It was embarrassing now to recall with what little
regret he had let slip his pleasures and preoccupations,
the imminence of loss revealing them for what they were,
at best only a solace, at worst a trivial squandering of time and energy.
Now he had to lay hold of them again and believe that
they were important, at least to himself.
He doubted whether he would ever again
believe them important to other people.”
~ P.D. James
