Time…

“… Never again, never again.  She repeated them slowly now.  But she felt no tears behind her eyes.  Grief doesn’t kill, love doesn’t kill; but time kills everything, kills desire, kills sorrow, kills in the end the mind that feels them; wrinkles and softens the body while it still lives, rots it like a medlar, kills it too at last.  Instead of crying, she laughed, laughed out loud.”
