Цитата:

Я умираю от этой цитаты... Эпиграф к 10 главе Веритас...только вот кто скажет: это сама Кассандра написала или откуда-то еще?

Это не Кассандра написала, это американский поэт William Carlos Williams написал. Он написал огромную поэму из пяти книг Paterson, из второй книге "Sunday in the Park" как раз эта цитата:
The descent beckons
as the ascent beckoned
Memory is a kind of accomplishment
a sort of renewal even
...
No defeat is made up entirely of defeat
-- since the world it opens is always a place formerly
unsuspected. A world lost, a world unsuspected
beckons to new places and no whiteness (lost)
is so white as the memory of whiteness
...
The descent made up of despairs and without accomplishment
realizes a new awakening: which is a reversal of despair.
For what we cannot accomplish, what is denied to love,
what we have lost in the anticipation -- a descent follows,
endless and indestructible.
Простите за длинную цитату.
