Quotes About Parting

People talk of the wrench of parting, and that, he felt, was exactly what it was. Take a metal object off a magnet and one would experience that - there was the draw, the tug, the flow of the bond even through the air, and then the sudden detaching as separation occurred. That was what it was like. That was human parting. You felt it; you felt the separation, just as you would feel the rending of tissue being pulled apart.

Upon which, let us part, farewell!

I see capital through the flurry On this Monday night twenty-first. Some do-nothing has made up the story That love exists on the earth.

I by accident came upon this And since then am as if I'm ill.
~ Anna Akhmatova
