I don’t mean to make any comparisons, except that there are cliffs of fall in all of us, right? Is that Hopkins, cliffs of fall? I think it is. Beautiful phrase. I think we have our own precipices inside, and whatever we do to skirt them, or postpone them, they come. We arrive at the edge periodically. So we carry it all around in us, everybody – it’s not easy to live. It’s not easy for any of us to live.
