“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid ... I think I am beginning to understand why grief feels like suspense. It comes from the frustration of so many impulses that had become habitual. Thought after thought, feeling after feeling, action after action, had H. for their object. Now their target is gone. I keep on through habit fitting an arrow to the string; then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. But now there’s an impassable frontier-post across it. So many roads once; now so many culs de sac.”
