gptkbp:notable_quote

April is the cruellest month
I will show you fear in a handful of dust
The dead tree gives no shelter.
These fragments I have shored against my ruins.
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow.
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
