Conor McGregorI need a little language such as lovers use, words of one syllable such as children speak when they come into the room and find their mother sewing and pick up some scrap of bright wool, a feather, or a shred of chintz.

Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon.
