- Tchaikovsky's Child Song
This is just some body child, this is just some mind. And they can work against me; my mind can try to slow me, stop me, stunt me. My body likes to hurt me, block me, hunt me; hunt me down - like a wounded fox made slow with bourbon, made fat with chocolate, made lazy with blinking lights.
Dave Malloy
- The Great Comet of 1812
And this bright star, having traced its parabola, with inexpressible speed, through immeasurable space, seems suddenly to have stopped like an arrow piercing the earth - stopped for me.
