I am yearning for things to be such which they will never be in my
lifetime. That is as much as I will say. I am yearning for things
which I can never have and never will have. These things would be
very wonderful. I can only get a glimpse of them in my mind's eye and
that is as real as they will ever be for me. This has always been the
case and I fear it will always be the case.
