From Suite in Three Keys, by Noel Coward
THE PAST
"The future is miserable, the immediate present appalling, so ghastly in all its implications that we can't go on discussing it indefinitely without undermining our self-control. The past will be almost a relief, even the painful parts of it."
Anne, from Shadows of the Evening
That's a sentence: The past will be almost a relief, even the painful parts of it. But we usually forget the painful parts or should I say we try to forget them.
