We don't know how to say goodbye:
we wander on, shoulder to shoulder.
Already the sun is going down;
You're moody. I am your shadow. 

- Anna Akhmatova, from Poems of Akhmatova

The future is the one thing you can count on not abandoning you, kid, he'd
said. The future always finds you. Stand still, and it will find you. The way
the land just has to run to sea.
-MARIANNE WIGGINS, EVIDENCE OF THINGS UNSEEN
