To each his world is private
and in that world one excellent minute.
And in that world one tragic minute
These are private.
In any man who dies there dies with him
his first snow and kiss and fight
it goes with him.
(Yevgeny Yevtushenko)
So Mr Barnes carries forward the private minutes of their life together, and those who knew both of them still find her in him, every time they meet.
GM that’s brilliant.
Lovely quote. From whom was Julian Barnes separated at birth? Anyone else spot a similarity? 🙂
………….sure did Richard
I didn’t want to flag it first

Justwhat I was thinking. Had to do a double-take.
Am I being very thick? I don’t know what you mean.
Charles, look in the mirror!
Yikes, Julian Barnes’ words smite me with a jagged recognition of what I would give for just one more full hour with Pamela. Who is still very much alive.
I’m off home.
Heaven be praised for that!!!
PS It’s the shadow on the honk that gives Julian the undeniable advantage of resembling our brilliant ed.
And, er, is he a drinker too?
James, that’s an outrageous statement. Charles is as jober as a sudge.
