Revisiting this contemplative and haunting piece about loss 💙📘 #Booksky #lincolninthebardo #georgesaunders #fictionlit #reading

Tardy #QOTD for June 30, 2023, is from #LincolnInTheBardo by #GeorgeSaunders "Strange, isn't it? To have dedicated one's life to a certain venture,neglecting other aspects of one's life, only to have that venture, in the end, amount to nothing at all, the products of one's labors utterly forgotten?"

Strange, though: it is the memory of those moments that bothers me most.
The thought…that other men enjoyed whole lifetimes comprised of such moments.
