Interrupted Elegies

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Nathan, as he discussed with Jennie, is trying to write something about GW for public consumption when he makes the mistake of checking the email account he used to communicate with GW when he was in Africa. Waiting patiently to be read since the previous week is an unexpected email - from Gideon. Nathan goes out to the quarry to blow up some rocks, and is eventually coaxed back inside by Angelo. He finally breaks down on Moira, and then, much later, has yet another ghostly visitation.

( Why wilt thou add to all the griefs I suffer... )

( The grief of a man should not exceed proper bounds, but be in proportion to the blow he has received. )

( The only cure for grief is action. )

( Light griefs are communicative, great ones stupefy. )

( He mourns the dead who lives as they desire. )
