<blockquote><div align=justify><dd>'Do you miss him?'</dd>
<dd>Doyler sighed, and with that breath spilt all the tide of his loneliness and fears. 'I miss him, aye,' he said. 'He was pal o' me heart, so he was. I try not to think of him, only I can't get him off my mind. He's with me always day and night. I do see him places he's never been, in the middle of a crowd I see him. His face looks out from the top of a tram, a schoolboy wouldn't pass but I'm thinking of him. I try to make him go away, for I'm a soldier now and I'm under orders. But he's always there and I'm desperate to hold him. I doubt I'm a man except he's by me.'</dd>
<dd><i>Jamie O'Neill, "At Swim Two Boys", page 498</i></dd></blockquote></div>
I know I chose a passage where Doyler is the one who does the speaking and all, but that's the first that came to mind and, strangely, I found it fitting. What's better than look at someone through the eyes of those who love them, after all? The book falls open on that page on its own anyway, by now. And well, I couldn't really write down the whole pages 504, 505, 506... and yes, I'm writing down the numbers because then, to know what I'm talking about, you'll have to look them down on the book and you'll end up rereading them again. Well, there are worse ways of being evil than this.
<font size="-2">What is very, very wrong is that I don't know if there is a Doyler Doyle's day, which there should be, and that I don't know when it is, if there is one.
