“Nothing is as it was before, after the screen has gone to black. Darkness lies on the soul. To use Beckett's phrase, "what cowers behind it begins to seep through." With her new shopping cart Hekabe, queen of Troy, will be prowling the aisled for dog biscuits.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
“CHORUS
Many are the shapes of things divine.
Many are the unexpected acts of gods.
What we imagined did not come to pass --
God found a way
to be surprising.
That's how this went.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

“—not to believe, that is, in the story of his own life. Bold move.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
“There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you â€� may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
