The lion shall never lie down with the lamb. The lion eternally shall devour the lamb, the lamb eternally shall be devoured.

The autumn always gets me badly, as it breaks into colours. I want to go south, where there is no autumn, where the cold doesn't crouch over one like a snow-leopard waiting to pounce.
