And, at such a time, for a few of us there will always be a tugging at the heart–knowing a precious moment had gone and we not there. We can ask and ask but we can’t have again what once seemed ours for ever–the way things looked, that church alone in the fields, a bed on belfry floor, a remembered voice, a loved face. They’ve gone and you can only wait for the pain to pass. J.L. Carr
