Indelible: A Story of Life, Love, and Music, in Five Movements (Classic Reprint)

God looks oer the world, a stupid, cluttered map with many billion eyes for dots, upstaring helter-skelter. The eyes are always bright to start with. Every morning the new ones are brig hi. Stillbirths dont count. God has a roll-top desk, and in the pigeonholes, erasers. First he tries a brown one, Heritage. He rubs the helter-skelter map and weaker dots fade out. Brush away the debris. A soiled eraser, Poverty, sweeps the sheet. Some are called and many weaken. Flick the dirt away. Down comes Crime, the red one, and eyes are smudged that were not aimed at.
