Those nights when
Cold hopelessness would Exude from our bones.
Sylvia and her lilies, lilies…
Kindred we are.

"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
