"but death takes each one by the hand: the thin man

in his white robe the picture the crumbling script that speaks

again and again of just one thing: mr monk I would just like to say

something: see how well I can dance before you all .. god every

time I hear that I'm so sorry I still want to get this and that

finished and make it to the rhine just one more time the way it looks

in the old engravings .. and then fade for ever into the wall"
