Cheever (AGAIN!)

From "The Sorrows Of Gin".

Amy is a young girl thinking about the way her parents live.

"The voices woke Amy, and, lying in her bed, she perceived vaguely the pitiful corruption of the adult world; how crude and frail it was, like a piece of worn burlap, patched with stupidities and mistakes, useless and ugly, and yet they never saw its worthlessness, and when you pointed it out to them, they were indignant."

Please don't try to get up off the floor until you are positive your strength has returned.

P.S. - I was going to say strength and sense of balance but, truthfully, none of us has a sense of balance.
