    As he watched from windows in the failing light
    For his world that was always just out of sight
    Where weakness was part of the ordinary landscape
    And the friendly road knew his footstep, his footstep.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Oh heavens, how I long for a little ordinary human enthusiasm. Just enthusiasm—that’s all. I want to hear a warm, thrilling voice cry out Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I’m alive!
