"Separate lives are fine, of their sort; but shared life is something completely new and distinct. Even if the sharing is only for short times. That evening, despite our closeness--or perhaps because of it--the Hole seemed very far off, something half-recalled at the end of sleep.The world around me had been reduced to an encapsulation of a few hours; everything outside was dim and fogged. If we could live all our lives in the present with no recourse to what has gone before or what might yet be, we would be so much the simpler for it. But in fact the here and now of life is all too often the least considered, while thoughts of the past and expectations of the future conspire to tangle our minds with irreconcilable regrets and hopes. That is part of what makes us the people we are, I suppose; but it was very good, for a little time, to ignore the outside and simply be together.
And eventually we dressed, and made off into our individual evenings, where different things would be demanded of each of us." Guy Burt --
