Every night and every morn, some to misery are born. Every morn and every night, some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to sweet delight; some are born to endless night.

4 quotesThat weapon will replace your tongue. You will learn to speak through it. And your poetry will now be written with blood.
Don't let the sun burn a hole in your ass, William Blake. Rise now, and drive your cart and plough over the bones of the dead!
Things which are alike, in nature, grow to look alike.
Scenes with Nobody
6 scenesThe vision of Christ that thou dost see... is my vision's greatest enemy. Do you have tobacco?
We sure don't.
Aren't those tins of tobacco right there behind you?
Sure are, but those cans are empty. There's no tobacco in them. Perhaps I could interest you in some beads...
What is your name?
My name is Nobody.
Excuse me?
My name is Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing.
He who talks... I thought you said your name was Nobody.
I preferred to be called Nobody.
Do you still have my eyeglasses?
No, I traded them. Do you have any tobacco?
No, I traded it.
For what?
I'm not telling.
Liar.
Thief.
Leave that alone stupid white man.
The circle of life has no ending.
Why are you helping me?
A bird told me.
A bird told you?
A small magical bird with bright blue feathers. [pauses] I was following him in your forest, hoping to acquire one of his indigo feathers... and then I lost him... and then I found him again. He was perched on your chest tasting your blood. He looked at me. Then he flew directly west in a straight line - his small beak red with your blood.
Did you kill the white man who killed you?
I'm not dead. Am I?
Hello.
I prepared your canoe with cedar boughs. It's time for you to leave now, William Blake. Time for you to go back where you came from.
You mean Cleveland?
Back to the place where all the spirits came from, and where all the spirits return. This world will no longer concern you.
That tobacco is for your voyage... William Blake.
Nobody... I don't smoke.
