“My heart leaps when I behold, a rainbow in the sky. So it was my life...”

Ian

(touches a butterfly shape on the glass window)

My heart leaps when I behold, a rainbow in the sky. So it was my life began, so is it now, I am a man. So it be when I shall grow old, or let me die. The child is the father of the man. And I could wish my days to be bound by natural piety. (sits down on the bed)
