DAN SIMMONS
The Rise of Endymion
Those who are gone, you have. Those who departed loving you, love you still; and you love them always.

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization.

GLEN DUNCAN
