I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything. And why should I pretend to want anything else?

Holding up my purring cat to the moon. I sighed.

and don't you know that God is Pooh Bear?

I was a man of the earth, precisely as I had dreamed I would be.

All our best men are laughed at in this nightmare land.

Let nature do the freezing and frightening and isolating in this world. let men work and love and fight it off.

The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great, that I thought I was in a dream.
