"An idealist in his loneliness put his head into the vise which holds him in place, while the roots of his flower-deal enter his brain and devour his blood..

While drinking the water he suddenly beheld a town on the bottom of this scoopful of water, burying his face in it to see more, almost forgetting to breathe, and hating to return to this world...this scorched, lifeless, friendless, empty desert."
