  Cried him up and down the coast,
  In hamlets, palaces, and parks,
  And told the truant by his marks,-
  Golden curls, and quiver, and bow.

• I watched as Humphrey Bogart’s character used beans as a metaphor for the relative unimportance in the wider world of his relationship with Ingrid Bergman’s character, and chose logic and decency ahead of his selfish emotional desires. The quandary and resulting decision made for an engrossing film. But this was not what people cried about. They were in love and could not be together. I repeated this statement to myself, trying to force an emotional reaction. I couldn’t. I didn’t care. I had enough problems of my own.

I shifted uneasily, because talking that way to a god can get you blasted into dust bunnies. "Um, Nico-" "It's all right," Persephone said coldly. "We had a little family spat." "Family spat?"

• I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack,
  And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black.
  So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked.
  I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke,
  And I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince,
  The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced.
  The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket,
  In a rainstorm...and struck by lightning trying to get it.

  "You loved me too?" he repeated.

• Nowhere in politics is there such a mismatch between public and private realm as in transport. Everyone on the M6 last weekend would have agreed with Transport Minister Alasdair Darling's reported hatred of cars. They too wanted drivers off the roads and on to public transport. Go to it, Mr Darling, they cried in unison, get rid of all those cars. Except, of course, their own. Other people's cars are traffic. My car is the outward essence of my being. It is my hat, stick and cane. It embodies my freedom as a citizen and my right as a democrat. My car is my soul in flight.
