“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”

Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
