A manpossessesnothing certainlysavea brief loanof his own body.

-Cabell,James Branch
  Jurgen, ch.20.

Dios so¤  lo nos tiene aqu |¤ prestados, en este valle de la¤  grimas no estamos ma¤  s que de paso. Si llegara alg u¤ n d|¤a a pensar que ha perdido a su hija para el mundo de los hombres, la habra¤   ganado para el de los a¤  ngeles. God has us here only on loan, we are transitory in this vale of tears. If you ever come to think that you have lost your daughter to the world of men, think also that you have given her to that of the angels.

-Ferre¤  , Rosario
  La Bella Durmiente ('Sleeping Beauty').

I was born†with ready-made parents and a sister and brother who had already begun their store of experience, inaccessible to me except through their language and the record, always slightly different, of our mother and father, and as each member of the family wasborn, each,ina sensewithmemories onloan, began to supply the individual furnishings of each Was-land, each Is-land, and the hopes and dreams of the Future.
