One pillar holding up consolations
And don't bother telling me anything
And so? The pale metalloid heals you?
I have a terrible fear of being an animal.
And what if after so many words,
The anger that breaks a man down into boys. (Pablo Neruda)

One pillar holding up consolations And don't bother telling me anything And so? The pale metalloid heals you? I have a terrible fear of being an animal. And what if after so many words, The anger that breaks a man down into boys.

John Chrysostom

Ephrem the Syrian
