"And perhaps there is none, no morrow anymore, for one who has waited so long for it in vain. And perhaps he has come to that stage of his instant when to live is to wander the last of the living in the depths of an instant without bounds, where the light never changes and the wrecks all look alike.

Waiting for my lovely summer girl."

For Jesus, who makes precisely what none of us can but all of us want: Christmas."
