A Preview(?)
His thumb on glass, he could see on the screen before him its print, in black and white rivulets, in swirls; it dripped wings outward as his thumb was rotated on the glass. He stared at it. His hand was allowed to drop to his side. In every cocoon there’s a butterfly, he heard himself thinking.

Jake Barnes: Come on.

Jake Barnes: Come on.
Bill Gorton: Mean everything in the world to you after you bought it. Simple exchange of values. You give them money. They give you a stuffed dog.
Jake Barnes: We'll get one on the way back.
Bill Gorton: All right. Have it your own way. Road to hell paved with unbought stuffed dogs. Not my fault.
On Viewing the Stars as Pins

Are scattered flares for me to find.
These nights I stand, alone and bare,
On streets beyond the lanterns’ glare,
On paths in parks by woods...

If you ever wanted to get a look at 15-year-old Colin this is he, for better or for worse. Apologies for the sound issues and myriad historical and grammatical inaccuracies - we were young and unaware. Even though it’s long and historical I recommend a full viewing; some of the best stuff is at the end.
