[Printer-Friendly Version]
I dwell in places dark and am comfortable there but like it not
Silence is my goal and my many words achieve this with confusing ease
Failure doesn't suit me well I fear it more than death so I persevere
Honor and discipline my bywords I have them both in some measure poor substitutes for peace of mind and happiness
