" Desires, memories, fears, passions form labyrinths in which we lost and found and then lose ourselves again."2. Ian McEwan: ON CHESIL BEACH (4/5)
Chesil Beach, Dorset, England
3. Sophocles: ANTIGONE (4.5/5)
" Then know this too, learn this by heart!
The chariot of the sun will not race through
so many circuits more, before you have surendered
one born of your own loins, your own flesh and blood,
a corpse for corpses given in return, since you have thrust
to the world below a child sprung for the world above,
ruthlessly lodged a living soul within the grave-
then you've robbed the gods below the earth,
keeping a dead body here in the bright air, unburied, unsung, unshallowed by the rites."
Tiresias to Creon (Trans: Robert Fagles)

"... Such things it hides, it soon will bring to light-
terrible things, and none done blindly now,
all done with a will. The pains
we inflict upon ourselves hurt most of all."
