It is natural to want to forget, Anna, when everyday is a brimful of sadness. But those souls also forgot those that they had loved. You do not want that, surely?

We should not dare to repeat these now aloud. We are not competent to hear them at all times. Henry David Thoreau
memories believe past

Henry David Thoreau
