Mass. Inst. of Woz. Deactivated Property Office
Each thing I do I rush through so I can do
something else. In such a way do the days pass--
a blend of stock car racing and the never
ending building of a gothic cathedral.
Through the windows of my speeding car, I see
all that I love falling away: books unread,
jokes untold, landscapes unvisited . . .
