"PIERROT: Of course not. There never was. "Moon's" just a word to swear by. "Mutton!" — now there's a thing you can lay the hands on, And set the tooth in!

"So up I got in anger,
And took a book I had,

But if I can't be sorry, why,
I might as well be glad!"

Learn to love blackness while there is yet time, blackness
Unpatterned, blackness without horizons.
