"Have you ever left your life was somehow slipping away? And there was nothing you could do to stop it…the odd thing is, I feel, for the first time really, I understand what it is to be happy. It’s just, I know that I won’t be."
Downton Abbey
she dealt her pretty words like blades—
how glittering they shone—
and every one unbared a nerve
or wantoned with a bone—
just words.
