For everything,
there's a reason, as such, a time for birth and death. I just wonder what makes
my life so different. I lovely fail before love. Love for life, what art thy
shall remain until the last breath of my life! Romantically I would like to be
killed by the love I love, but I am not stupid enough to bury my precious life
for the love unloved. I drink wine and I have tasted almost all the precious of
them. I drink and I love, I love and I live, I live and I am loving it. I love
the mystic charms of life, the way it behaves, woos, and ravishes, what a piece
of romance. I always wanted to stop writing about love, but my love for my life
fails me and I write again! Life is such a wonderful gift I’ve ever had,
there's failure, success, love, rejection, smile, sadness, poverty, luxury,
silence, laughter, and many; but life remains as life itself. I am blessed!

Food no longer delighted her. Conversations dissolved before reaching her. The pleasures that once animated her existence had become distant rumours from another life. She had possessed almost everything one could desire—a loving husband, a beautiful home, security, comfort, longevity. By every conventional measure, she had won. Yet old age is a peculiar thief. It does not steal all at once. It removes things patiently, one by one, until only a few fragments remain. For Anne, only three things survived the wreckage. Her husband. Her home. And the longing to return. Every day she asked the same questions. ...

hail to thy little keats, hail to thee!
