Boone gulped and swallowed. He spoke to The Hat.
"You said the Highway to Eternity?"
That is not what I said. I said the Highway of Eternity.
"Small difference," Boone told him.
Not so small as you might think.

I was made to bitterly cry out, "If there is no God — doubtless there is a hell." I found myself in the midst of it.

Baa, etc." Maybe it's maudlin, but so am I. I get chills every time I sing it, even when sober.
