Franz Kafka, 1912
Achilles : "Had you no reverence for the unsullied holiness of your thighs ungrateful for so many kisses I gave you?"
Historians : They are just friends.
In other news my mother is a bitch
Of lost chances, forbidden love and remorse.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

It was her, Grace.
The glow on the bank.
The pull from the trees.
She's not of this place.
