"Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) "Ever to confess you're bored
means you have no
Inner Resources." I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored." |

John Berryman (1914-1972), U.S. poet. 77 Dream Songs, no. 14 (1964).

"Bats have no bankers and they do not drink
and cannot be arrested and pay no tax
and, in general, bats have it made." |
