“And all at once I knew how Margo Roth Spiegelman felt when she wasn't being Margo Roth Spiegelman: she felt empty. She felt the unscaleable wall surrounding her. I thought of her asleep on the carpet with only that jagged sliver of sky above her.

She was a girl.”

Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”
