If All Good, Respectable People Had One

As It Was In The Beginning, ... Is Now, And Ever Shall Be, World Without End.

And Then The Days Came When I Was Alone.

And I Saw That All My Life I Had Known That This Was Going To Happen, And That I'd Been Afraid For A Long Time, I'd Been Afraid For A Long Time. There's Fear, Of Course, With Everybody. But Now It Had Grown, It Had Grown Gigantic; It Filled Me And It Filled The Whole World.

I Found When I Was A Child That If I Put The Hurt Into Words, It Would Go.

I Sit At My Window And The Words Fly Past Me Like Birds — With God's Help I Catch Some.
