read On Being Ill by V.Wolfe

"They march to battle.  We float with the sticks on the stream ; helter-skelter with the dead leaves on the lawn, irresponsible and disinterested and able, perhaps for the first time for years, to look round, too look up - to look, for example, at the sky."


"But with the hook of life still in us we must wriggle.  We cannot stiffen peaceably into glassy mounds."
