Have you ever thought, when something dreadful happens, 'a moment ago things were not like this; let it be then, not now, anything but now'? And you try and try to remake then, but you know you can't. So you try to hold the moment quite still and not let it move on and show itself.

Or perhaps it was only that tragedy is more self-important than laughter.

The soul flexes its wings, and, clumsy as any fledgling, tries the air again
