“Yet nothing can to nothing fall,
Nor any place be empty quite;
Therefore I think my breast hath all
Those pieces still, though they be not unite;
And now, as broken glasses show
A hundred lesser faces, so
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more.”
― John Donne, The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose

“I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton.

― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day
