    EPIGRAPH: For a wonderful physical tie binds the parents to the children; and -- by some sad, strange irony -- it does not bind us children to our parents. For if it did, if we could answer their love not with gratitude but with equal love, life would lose much of its pathos and much of its squalor, and we might be wonderfully happy.

    EPIGRAPH: Every little trifle, for some reason, does seem incalculably important today, and when you say of a thing that “nothing hangs on it” it sounds like blasphemy. There’s never any knowing – how am I to put it? – which of our actions, which of our idlenesses won’t have things hanging on it for ever.

    EPIGRAPH: "The king died and then the queen died" is a story. "The king died, and then the queen died of grief is a plot." The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it. Consider the death of the queen. If it is in a story we say "and then?" If it is a plot we ask "why?"
