From "Latecomers" by Anita Brookner

The abyss that waits for all of us,
when all our actions seem futile,
when the ability to fill the day seems stalled,
and the waiting takes on an edge of dread.

From "Hotel du lac" by Anita Brookner

which was unlikely to attract unfavorable attention,
a place guaranteed to provide a restorative sojourn for those
whom life had mistreated or merely fatigued.
