Master
Walked to Canadian Tire. Got a box of wood screws the right size so I can put the bookcases together. Sunny walk on frozen frame lake. Got a rain-cheque for a barstool that might function as a guitar stool.
"He imagined bright, intelligent eyes in a man's sensitive face, a thin upper lip, soft, fair skin, a large frame that was carried with ease." (The Master, p. 10)
As I realized once that land ownership is actually a fraud in the sense that land abides but the human can not, so it strikes me how strenght and youth -- the substantial physical form "carried with ease" -- is a constant, but the individuals who embody this strength and youth are transitory. The fictional character described above was described in 1895. He is dead, if you can refer to the death of a fictional character. His strength and other qualities have long ago failed him. The words abide, or so it seems at least.
