“Most people never ‘stop and smell the roses’ because they never get that far down the road.”
Craig D Lounsbrough

Claire Keegan
“For a time he stood listening and looking down at the town, at the smoke starting up from the chimneys and the small, diminishing stars in the sky. One of the brightest fell while he was standing there, leaving a streak like a chalk mark on a board for just a second before it vanished.”
Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These
