  I have spent much time reading, entreating with the deceased for rare anecdote I despoil their codices whilst wearing their robes and golden things It is not always easy, the poorhouse is ever needy for feeding Nothing is ever as it seems, we are not forging paths but leadlings Things on leashes, never to be…
