The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders.

That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion.

And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”
