Mourning and grief are different for each one of us, just as love is, and everyone has the right to grieve in their own particular way and at their own particular pace. <br /><br />Loss is horrible and hellish enough without one also having to deal with well-meant but useless prescriptions for action, and with the uffish hurt feelings one's response of "sorry, I'm not ready to do that yet" can evoke.<br /><br />If you love Housman, try the Butterworth settings of "A Shropshire Lad" - Bryn Terfel has recorded them, beautifully.Imogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811393485894960485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-55801389141402527322009-06-30T06:23:44.663-07:002009-06-30T06:23:44.663-07:00It is even funnier in the movie, with Simon Callow...It is even funnier in the movie, with Simon Callow's perfectly deadpan delivery, accompanied by Rupert Graves' wide-eyed stare and floppy bangs.

Vintage International, October 1989, p143.<br /><br />The passage was blocked by a wardrobe, which the removal men had failed to carry up the stairs. Mr. Beebe edged around it with difficulty. The sitting-room itself was blocked with books.<br /><br />"Are these people great readers?" Freddy whispered. "Are they that sort?"<br /><br />"I fancy they know how to read - a rare accomplishment. What have they got? Byron. Exactly. A Shropshire Lad. Never heard of it. The Way of All Flesh. Never heard of it. Gibbon. Hullo! dear George reads German. Um - um - Schoepenhauer, Nietzsche, and so we go on. Well, I suppose your generation knows its own business, Honeychurch."kairuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608839703020585886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-85197909627574515532009-06-29T16:21:00.008-07:002009-06-29T16:21:00.008-07:00Very true.

And there is nothing more annoying than being told what to do; it induces an immediate and stubborn instinct to bloody well stay put.Justine Picardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957669049699860596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078357011397157919.post-6071350301940667272009-06-29T15:10:57.113-07:002009-06-29T15:10:57.113-07:00'You must move on' is horrible bullying re...'You must move on' is horrible bullying really. It means 'Move on because I can't bear your pain anymore.' Sometimes the loss is all you have.

While waiting for their host to come downstairs, Mr. Beebe flips through various books, none of which he is familiar with.<br /><br />It is a terrible thing, the kindness of well-meaning people. Speaking from the other side, the pain we feel at being unable to ease someone else's suffering must be magnified a thousand times for the very person we seek to comfort.kairuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608839703020585886noreply@blogger.com
