Perhaps we're too suspicious, but neither one of us can see any reason for her to have died, and both of us can see reasons for her to have met with foul play. If they were seeking news of Lalage, though, she knew nothing.

Ana - I Worry About You
Yes, I know where you are. You may have thought I was kidding when I called myself a homing pigeon for the forests, but it is not far from the mark. I can sense just about everyone. I will not press you. But I am worried for you, worried about the burden that you bear.

By The Numbers
SONNET 77 Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear, Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste; The vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear, And of this book this learning mayst thou taste. The wrinkles which thy glass will truly show Of mouthed graves will give thee memory; Thou by thy dial's shady stealth mayst know Time's thievish progress to eternity. Look, what thy memory can not contain Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find Those children nursed, deliver'd from thy brain, To take a new acquaintance of thy mind. These offices, so oft as thou wilt look, Shall profit thee and much enrich thy book. Shakespeare
