Some words
A quote from Chapter 6 Mandalay by Daphne du Maurier
“we can never be quite the same again. even stopping for luncheon in a wayside inn and going into a dark unfamiliar room to wash my hands, the handle of the door unknown to me, the wallpaper peeling in strips, a funny little cracked mirror above the basin, for this moment, it is mine, it belongs to me, we know one another, this is the present. There is no past and no future. Here I am washing my hands, and the cracked mirror shows me to myself, suspended as it were in time, this is me, this moment will not pass.”
