“The one thing that did stand out in my memory was the fact that he had a well documented association with Heroin. Growing up with a somewhat myopic view of the world, I could not understand how it was that people could put a drug user on such a high pedestal (If you will pardon the pun).”-Chet Baker — “The one thing that did stand out in my memory was the fact that he had a well documented association with Heroin.

Oh, pour me another drink and punch in the face.

Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind.

Or maybe it’s the weather or somethin’ like that. But, mama, you been on my mind. — Or maybe it’s the weather or somethin’ like that.

“How do i feel? Well I don’t know how to say it. I feel… I feel…”

He waived his arms in the air.

“I feel like spring after winter and sun on the leaves and like trumpets and harps and all the songs I’ve ever heard.”

The Return of the King

The Field of Cormallen

So he rode his horse to a green hillock and there set his banner, and the White Horse ran rippling in the wind.

‘Out of doubt, out of dark days rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hopes end I rode to hearts breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!’

These staves he spoke, yet he laughed as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.
