Glass (Small Press Distribution (All Titles)) - Plot & Excerpts
I think too much Clarence liked to say, when I objected to some of the piffle he would come out with, especially when he had knocked back a few. I am not going to go into that now, into his drinking or his piffle, as I am not at the moment thinking about Clarence, except insofar as I have to in order to mention him at all—you cannot talk about someone without thinking about them in that sense. What I was actually thinking about was traveling, though not about that either in the sense of considering it as potential action—rushing to the bus station and so forth, or even looking at colorful brochures—as if I could take a trip if I wanted, though I really do want to in some sense of wanting, in some sense of trip. To want in that way is to have a desire without attaching it to any foreseeable action—desire without hope, I guess it is. I believe the word for that sort of desire is velleity. I am finding that I have more and more velleities these days, and one of them is the velleity to travel, a hopeless longing to just peregrinate off somewhere.
