Or doggerel years, and a headlong comic lurch into the commotion of practical life. This can't go on forever, though I know no other way. An impostor, a joker, a wanter-and-not-haver.
Thing One: I just recently - at age 30, that is - read that Immanuel Kant called the belief in pre-established harmony a pillow for the lazy mind. I felt that rebuke sharply, as though delivered all-out-of-proportion-to-my-importance straight to me and my evil ways. Ever since this reading I am suspicious of myself; I am a Fyodor Karamazov unmasked. A rat. New theme: what is and what is not redemption?
