"I wanted no more riotous excursions with
privileged glimpses into the human heart.
I don't care what they're founded on,"
I told him.
And as I walked on, I was lonely no longer.
But...
Who is he?
Do you know?
He's just a man,
never to be truly understood.
Nevertheless, there was a vague understanding
that had to be tactfully broken off
before I was free.
After all,
everyone suspects himself of at least one
of the cardinal virtues,
and this is mine:
I am one of the few honest people
I have ever known.
-So I took one good look at him-
This isn't the man!
