self, Let me come clear about him. Let climb all'
that which may carry what I have to say to a
real story: Bring His completeness to an under-
standing making me happy again. Not to the ends
to which I feel so presented upon now. No sophisticated
person would believe me. I know this,
and here comes that moon language his way has
touched me with. These rocks I last watched him
walking through have become of texture,
with no trace of memory. They have become
smooth in my mind, like another planet, as if
they had lost their earthness, and
their hiding places.
My future will preside without him forever,
but I must make contain that what came upon me
is completed before the normal life can again
let me derive peace, though I have little hope
left for innocence.)
