There was nothing they did not do for

sat down in nice, leisurely way and was

you touched me very deeply
somehow yesterday, partly, no
doubt, because you are so nice
to me (for there is great deal
of self-love lurking about most
Of us), but chiefly because seeing
you and hearing about your life

constantly and inevitably diff

to be dowdy-impossible
No one seemed to really care who was

age? What did look like off the stage?
Had lover? Was 1t true that had
