Pg 8 Bills Story;
"Trembling, I stepped from the hospital a broken man. Fear sobered me for a bit. Then came the insidious insanity of the first drink and on Armistice Day 1934 I was off again. Everyone became resigned to the certainty that I would have to be shut up somewhere, or would stumble along to a miserable end. How dark it is before the dawn"!
(shivering= Bills trembling) (The Vapor thickened ever becoming blacker= How dark it is before the dawn) This was towards the end of Bills drinking days and a new dawn was aproaching. (Pg 8 and a parallel on Pg 151= Twilight zone Music) The book is full of these parallels. Sometimes it sends a chill up my spine. Some of these parallels are so blatant and deliberate I have no choice but to believe in Divine Intervention as discussed earlier.
