butterfly“There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better, some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living. In my life I’ve loved them all.”
—John Lennon, “In My Life,” 1965.
