“The past happened when we were not looking and the future is always coming too soon. The one to whom we ache to speak is always the one who has already left and even as we speak to the others who are with us now we anticipate that alter they will be the ones for whom we look after they too have left. And they will leave because they sense our distraction, our looking over their shoulder, under their skin, in the hidden orifices of their most intimate cavities for someone, something, else” – Peggy Phelan, Whole Wounds: Bodies at the Vanishing Point.
