ALLINGHAM, Margery

Citation

“Mourning is not forgetting…It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the knot.”

~Margery Allingham, English author author

The Tiger in the Smoke (1952) London: Hogarth Press, 1952, p. 33

“The Canon stepped back on to his own territory and became a different being. “Mourning is not forgetting,” he said gently, his helplessness vanishing and his voice becoming wise. “It is an undoing. Every minute tie has to be untied and something permanent and valuable recovered and assimilated from the knot.” (p. 33)
