"Death is like taking your thumb out of a bowl of soup; it has to leave a hole, but it doesn't." Nightwood, 23 "Jenny Petherbridge was a widow, a middle-aged woman who had been married four times. Each husband had wasted away and died; she had been like a squirrel racing a wheel day and night in an endeavour to make them historical; they could not survive it." Nightwood, 58
