\na contrast to his Confessions, where words
\nare splashed on paper and blurred by winestains.<\/p>\n
\nto sail across the lake, and walk on stilts,
\nlines curving slightly across the page
\nas if struggling to keep their balance.<\/p>\n
\nhis frantic pacing from room to room<\/p>\n
\nwho spied on lions, bears and wolves,
\nhidden from giants in forests of eucalyptus
\nand spent weeks on islands with no sun.<\/p>\n
\nmade by the seal when the folds were opened.
\nThere\u2019s a thought in there that\u2019s lost to us.
\nIt\u2019s roughly the shape of a heart.<\/p>\n
