Dancer Quote by Eugene Kennedy

“Death is by no means separate from life. . . . We all interact with death every day, tasting it as we might a wine, feeling its keen edge even in trifling losses and disappointments, holding it by the hand, as a dancer might a partner, in every separation.” quote by Eugene Kennedy — Download Open image
