to be attuned to her so wholly and utterly is the result of the acts of a boy who had no notion of the scope of the world and furthermore the tide to which his life would inexorably and absolutely and never endingly turn. for all the distance that he has wrought and all the chasms he has torn there remains : the pair of them / their twin souls / the set that they have made willfully / unwillingly. who was it who had tied them together? what absurd childish wish had intertwined them?
