Re: Hapworth Revisited

Any idea where that particular Blake quote is from? I can probably look
up the context if you can tell me where it is.

He goes on to say that somebody ought to do everyone a favor and break this vicious cycle. Seymour is in a rush to do this, break this cycle, you see...because his time left in this appearance is scrawny. so, did his breakage of the cycle cause his early departure? i'm getting a cramp in my wang.
