There are moments of despair that come sometimes, when night sets in and a white fog presses against the windows. Then our house changes its shape, rears up and becomes a place of despair. Then fear and rage run simply–and the thought of Death as a friend. This is the simplest of thoughts, that Death must come when we call, although he is a god.
