“Mitt i livet händer det att döden kommer och tar mått på människan. Det besöket glöms och livet fortsätter. Men kostymen sys i det tysta.” … “In the middle of life it so happens that death comes and takes mans measurements. The visit is forgotten and life goes on. But the suit is sewn in silence.”

— Tomas Tranströmer, Swedish poet, 1931 - 2015

“Don’t be afraid to suffer—take your heaviness /and give it back to the earth’s own weight; / the mountains are heavy, the oceans are heavy.”
