If the future speaks to us we are truly the Dead who Speak back to it.
Above quote from 'Cern Zoo' review HERE.
"Most of all the dead, from mortuaries, from under cataracts of rubble, made their anonymous presence – not as today's dead but as yesterday's living – felt through London. Uncounted, they continued to move in shoals through the city day, pervading everything to be seen or heard or felt with their torn-off senses, drawing on this tomorrow they had expected – for death cannot be so sudden as that."
- Elizabeth Bowen from 'The Heat of the Day' (1949)
"Meantime, another war had peopled the world with another generation of the not-dead, overlapping and crowding the living's senses still more with the senses left by unlived lives."
- Elizabeth Bowen from 'A World of Love' (1954)
