as far as I can remember

What a death!
What a chance!
What a surprise!
My will has chosen life!
Still it has had me spooked and many others besides!"

"At night! I think of my piano
in its ocean grave, and
sometimes of myself floating
above it. Down there everything
is so still and silent that it
lulls me to sleep. It is a
weird lullaby and so it is; it
is mine.

There is a silence where hath been no sound /
There is a silence where no sound may be /
In the cold grave, under the deep deep sea.



"The piano", Jane Campion, 1993
