No matter what documents you investigate, and what objects you retrieve, you many never answer the questions that are most important to you, but nevertheless, sooner or later you must finish whatever file you have begun.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;          ............................................................... I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost

Ô Mort, vieux capitaine, il est temps! levons l'ancre! Ce pays nous ennuie, ô Mort! Appareillons! Si le ciel et la mer sont noirs comme de l'encre, Nos coeurs que tu connais sont remplis de rayons! Verse-nous ton poison pour qu'il nous réconforte! Nous voulons, tant ce feu nous brûle le cerveau, Plonger au fond du gouffre, Enfer ou Ciel, qu'importe? Au fond de l'Inconnu pour trouver du nouveau! (O Death, my captain, it is time! let us raise the anchor! This country wearies us, O Death! Let us make ready! If sea and sky are both as black as ink, You know our hearts are full of sunshine. Pour on us your poison to refresh us! Oh, this fire so burns our brains, we would Dive to the depths of the gulf, Heaven or Hell, what matter? If only to find in the depths of the Unknown the New!)

Le Voyage, Charles Baudelaire

It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined

And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.
