outer darkness

In a world darksome as this’n I believe a blind man ort to be better sighted than most. I believe it’s got a good deal to recommend it. The grace of God don’t rest easy on a man. It can blind him easy as not. ---Cormac McCarthy

The castle walls has grown so tall
seem there ain't no hope at all
to reach the top even though you stop
for breathin'
