They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone's concern and like vampires they suck our life's blood. My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose. Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. To look back is to relax one's vigil. Old age is no place for sissies. |
