The Reassembly Of The Vase

Aldous Huxley
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Lucretius
There is nothing that exists so great or marvelous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less.

Derek Walcott
Break a vase,

Derek Walcott
and the love that reassembles the fragments

Derek Walcott
is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.
