To Edith

Through the long years

I sought peace

I found ecstasy, I found anguish

I found madness

I found lonliness

I found the solitary pain

That gnaws the heart

But peace I did not found

Now, old and near my end

I have known you

I have found both ecstasy and peace

I know rest

After so many lonely years

I know what life and love may be

Now, if I sleep

I shall sleep fullfilled

(Bertrand Russell)

    By and large, you are lucky; very lucky.
