Neil Gaiman
�There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't
remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the
birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a
slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you
to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will
sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret
before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like
her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will
never see her again.

Whenever it rains you will think of her. �

�The rain to the wind said,
You push and I'll pelt.'

That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.�

Ray Bradbury
�I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry,
thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry.

Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain, the rain,
always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and fumbled about for my dripping
sleep and tried to slip it back on.�

�Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
And the browns gone gray
And yellow
A terrible amber.
In the cold streets
Your warm body.
In whatever room
Your warm body.
Among all the people
Your absence
The people who are always
Not you.

I have been easy with trees

Too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
Suddenly
This rain.�

this life one day, but it�s how

of subway trains... if only one
could leave this life slowly!�

Joyce Kilmer
�I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.�
