Desire is wakeful; satisfaction dozes.
Ironic and jittery, we are puzzled by the old heroes with their fighting, boasting, and cocksure lovemaking.

Respectability is joining chastity in the museum of dead issues.
To win hearts, smile kindly on people's weaknesses.
Lonely people keep up a ceaseless flow of commentary on themselves.
