"I think I am beginning to understand why grief feels like suspense," C. S. Lewis wrote after the death of his wife. "It comes from the frustration of so many impulses that had become habitual. Thought after thought, feeling after feeling, action after action, had H. for their object. Now their target is gone. I keep on through habit fitting an arrow to the string, then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. I set out on one of them. But now there's an impassable frontierpost across it. So many roads once; now so many cul de sacs."

— from Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, with excerpted passage from Lewis' A Grief Observed

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.”

HERAKLES: Because my theory is, there's no such thing as life, it's just catastrophe.

[...] Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against gods. In crisis their souls are visible. [...]

Carson, Anne. Preface ("Tragedy: A Curious Art Form") to Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides. New York Review of Books, 2006.

we are full of rage because we are constantly grieving for the world we could have had. for the alternative scenario, the imaginary outcome. because we treat the present as pointless, instead of working with what we have.
