‘I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life’s very constant lulls
So far from where I’m determined to go
‘Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way …
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I’ve got no charm’
- Morrissey, “Seasick, Yet Still Docked”
‘It is not good for man to be alone. Hitherto all things [in Genesis] that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God’s eye named not good.’
- John Milton
