I lay to rest a quote by one of my all-time favourite authors...
Quote:
"Why, a woman can think of a hundred different things at once, all of them contradictory!" (Georgette Heyer)
...to be replaced with one from current (re-)reading. I think it's very Downs appropriate!

Pulling an HI
(That's a rather queer thing to do, resurrecting a graveyard.)

I lay down to rest this quote, which I got from Madeleine L'Engle's An Acceptable Time:
Quote:
But if I knew everything, there would be no wonder, because what I believe in is far more than I know.
and replace it with something a little more appropriate for the start of the term.

Ah but there is a wonderful little short story by Maupassant called "La Morte" in which this happens. Only four pages long but one of his best...

Ah, Lush, sad to see the lolcats go. But 'we were old friends immediately" seems quite fitting.
