ha-a-ay

Updated: May 7, 2025

I would do it myself, for, as the poet says, "Ah, surely nothing dies but something mourns." A sweet fancy, but not so filling as the cognate reflection "Ha-a-ay!" Somebody calling from the other side of the river; probably some forlorn and shipwreck'd brother, looking for his mates The cognate reflection, namely, that nothing withdraws but it leaves room for a successor.

Joseph Furphy - Such Is Life
