Death is the mother of beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.\u2026 Is there no change of death in paradise? Does ripe fruit never fall?
— Wallace Stevens<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I prefer fruit that falls, for from the seed that is then released comes new life and new beauty.<\/p>\n
