"There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!" -Coco Chanel

..Across days that were growing shorter:
You said: 'There's autumn too'.
Always for you what's finished
Is nothing, and what survives
Cancels the failed, the famished,
As if we had fresh lives
From that night on, and just living
Could make me unaware
Of June, and the guests arriving,
And I not there.

-Philip Larkin
