APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
(Excerpt from The Waster Land: T.S. Eliot)
                                                       T.S. Elliot how he knew too well,
the songs in which we sing. 
Will we always be alone?

This is an sinful world I have brought my son into.
I see it the dark faces that stare down on to me.
For men living alone (perhaps in a lighthouse far away)...
maybe that is the best way to live.

  1. I know about children. Or, at least, I am willing to learn more about them.

    Spend time with them, and the older one's I admire and feel so strongly towards.

    These dark thoughts and fears and details that make up your life; Miss Almond, I know them. I know them well. Just in different shapes and forms.

    You are not alone. Ever.
