I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness. And then, on the top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps — what more can the heart of man desire?

so i'm changing who i am
cuz what i am's not good.
and i know you love me now.
but i don't see why you should.

i'm like peter crying
crowing burning my ears
still You come near
You take my hand
and place in my palm an eternal chance.

oh, oswald.
