In books there are chapters to separate out the moments, to show that time is going by and things are changing, and sometimes the parts even have titles that are full of promise—’The Meeting’, ‘Hope’, ‘Downfall’—like paintings do. But in life there’s nothing like that, no titles or signs or warnings, nothing to say ‘Beware, danger!’ or ‘Frequent landslides’ or ‘Disillusion ahead’. In life you stand all alone in your costume, and too bad if it’s in tatters.
