An excerpt of Una Nichols Hynum's poem "Borrower." This appears on page 10 of .
"But that doesn't mean to say, of course, there aren't occasions now and then -- extremely desolate occasions -- when you think to yourself: 'What a terrible mistake I've made with my life.' And you get to thinking about a different life, a better life you might have had. For instance, I get to thinking about a life I may have had with you, Mr. Stevens. And I suppose that's when I get angry over some trivial little thing and leave. But each time I do so, I realize before long -- my rightful place is with my husband. After all, there's no turning back the clock now. One can't be forever dwelling on what might have been. One should realize one has as good as most, perhaps better, and be grateful."
I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words of Miss Kenton. Moreover, as you might appreciate, their implications were such as to provoke a certain degree of sorrow within me. Indeed -- why should I not admit it? -- at that moment, my heart was breaking.
-- Kazuo Ishiguro, from Remains of the Day, page 239
Congratulations on your Nobel Prize in Literature. Well-deserved, Mr. Ishiguro!
