"I laugh at myself: an old madman growing older, growing madder."

"Heaven's ways include the human: among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone."

"Dew is heavy on the grass below, the spider's web is ready. Heaven's ways include the human: among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone."

"My darling son now will not leave my knee, He's scared that I will go away again."

"How I long to lie down in some gully, alone and untrammeled! But I laugh at myself: an old madman growing older, growing madder."
