I wonder; <br>or was it simply another test, an opportunity to <br>do the right thing, and perhaps we failed, and I am not <br>even sure about that, but I know that she and I feel guilty, <br>and while I thought it was inevitability <br>I was talking about here, it was something else entirely, <br>and I guess old Forster was right, even if he didn't say it.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Anonymous submission.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Louis+McKee">Louis McKee</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=449157" data-title="Inevitable de Louis McKee" data-description="Somewhere in Forster—was it Aspects of the Novel?— there's something to the effect of, How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?
