This man-boy's inheritance was not material wealth of any sort, but freedom and, in a sort of conflation of the biblical parables of the Talents and the Prodigal Son, he didn't squander it but guarded it jealously, stifled it in fact. More, he sought and pursued loneliness until it turned round and bit him. And this was the result, but I can tell you that life - abundant, sumptuous, fecund - did not abandon him and he survived, and survives. All this aside, I feel that the real key to this sorrowful picture is not in any narrative I may weave but in the curious tilt of the horizon, and I shall not - indeed, cannot - explain this. |
