“What I mean to say is no, I don’t want her back, just words hanging like leaves from a tree limb, nothing can bring her back anyway; words wouldn’t build her bit by bit, piece by piece, she’s gone, and there is strength in knowing that. Maybe the longing will ease. Maybe the seconds will lapse into minutes. I’m not Christ – I can’t raise the dead.

azt akarom mondani, hogy nem, nem akarom visszakapni, csak szavakat, amelyek levélként lógnak a fa ágáról, úgysem hozhatja vissza semmi; A szavak nem építenék fel apránként, darabonként, elment, és ennek tudatában van erő. talán enyhül a vágyakozás. talán percekké telnek a másodpercek. nem vagyok Krisztus – nem tudom feltámasztani a halottakat.
