„In the corner of the morning in the pastI would sit and blame the master first and last.All the roads were straight and narrowAnd the prayers were small and yellow.And the rumour spread that I was aging fast.Then I ran across a monster who was sleepingBy a tree.And I looked and frowned and the monster was me.“

— David Bowie
