Product Description
Product Description
Change, loss, fear, disappointment, weariness, loneliness, ageing and death; these unalterable realties of the human condition have inspired writers for centuries; a painful refrain that finds its echoes in history and connects people of all ages and in all places. This unique book brings together a collection of works that draw on feelings of despair with the aim of providing comfort and sustenance to readers through the deep reassurance that they are not alone. The anthology draws inspiration from a diverse range of sources, featuring quotations from poems, philosophical works, plays, novels and modern songs, weaving a journey through the darkest reaches of the soul to arrive at the conclusion that life, although often incredibly painful, is not meaningless, as summed up by Samuel Beckett who said: On. Somehow on. Till nohow on...The Agony Abides is a melancholic's narrative; a collection of beautiful passages from the Bible to the modern day, drawn together to help shed some light on the frequently weary and burdensome condition of being alive.
