« ‘There’s death all-round you. It shines from you’
‘I didn’t know anyone could see it’ Samuel said. ‘You know, Lee, I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody. And my life has not been a full orchestra for a long time now. A single not only -and that note unchanging sorrow. I’m not alone in my attitude, Lee. It seems to me that too many os us conceive of a life as ending in defeat.
Lee said, ‘Maybe everyone is too rich. I have noticed that there is no dissatisfaction like that of the rich. Feed a man, clothe him, put him in a good house and he will die of despair.’
‘What is that word, Lee?’
‘Timshel’, said Lee. ‘Will you stop the cart?’
‘You’ll have a long walk back’
Lee climbed dow. ‘Samuel’ he said.
‘Here I am’ The old man chuckled. ‘Liza hates for me to say that’
‘Samuel, you’ ve gone beyond me’
‘It’s time, Lee.’
‘Goodbye Samuel,’ Lee said, and he walked hurriedly back along the road. He heard the iron tyres of the cart grinding on the road. He turned and looked after it, and on the slope he saw old Samuel against the sky, how white hair thing with starlight. »
Sweet angel dyes her nail in black
Dyes them in the dark
Living wild in a cage
She’s an ember to the night
A drifting light on the shore
An ember to the night
She misses the words she praises
To dance around all ashes
