THIS eBook IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU AS-IS. I
cannot see you so long as you go on living with your wife.
When I let loose intolerance, whether it be ofrace,
creed or class, I am letting loose a tiger. If I separate from her now, it will
befinal. If I could get thehogs and where to fix a hog pasture I could do more. I go
to sofa, kiss her onforehead, sit down in arm-chair opposite her. This election,
hard fought as it was,has been but a mimic battle.
I fed him with a spoon and last December Ibutchered
this pig. Food for Ed Summers boy on his destroyer and Gus Taubs boy overin the
tank-plant.
And Hans Christiansen does not hear any more from
hiscousin.
After the way in which you left it, I didnt suppose
you would.
They are notgood stories to hear or pleasant to
hear.
Ive never thought ofher in any other
way.
And,through good days or bad, I will try to serve
my country.
FARMER: Theres a fellow over in Maryland. I cannot
see you so long as you go on living with your wife. We are two familiarfriends
talking together. Because thisis the ladys war, same as the men.
Hannah and the music was byPaul Whiteman. We are
two familiarfriends talking together. They were not driven or hounded there byarmed
guards or secret police.
They will take my hate and make of it a consuming
fire.
Let us say this much to ourselves, not only with
our lips but inour hearts. I take it to be your wish and Iaccept it.
Enough milk tofloat two thousand battleships like
the Bismarck.
She is standing close to me by the fireplace in
which a remnant of coalis glowing.
You hitched up the wrong horse when you thought
that farmerscant fight, Adolf. It isnt a matter of burdening myself with your
society.
And a funny thing happens atthe Farmers
Co-operative Creamery.
Every time a hen laysan egg, that eggs against you.
I suppose I was infatuated with Virginia.
But weve worked it out with ourgovernment over ten
years now, and theyve listened to what wesaid.
I wish I knew what being in love is
like.
I should have taken thebest years of her life and
left her to the mercy of the world.
She does love Peter and poor old
Waggles.
Our own governments found that out and youre going
to find itout, too.
