Today’s quote is another from the “Ladies’ Man,” Mr. Leonard Cohen, whom I previously quoted and wrote a little bio for here.  This is it–a snippet from his song “Night Comes On”:

We were locked in this kitchen
I took to religion
And I wondered how long she would stay
I needed so much
To have nothing to touch
I’ve always been greedy that way
But my son and my daughter
Climbed out of the water
Crying, Papa, you promised to play
And they lead me away
To the great surprise
It’s Papa, don’t peek, Papa, cover your eyes
And they hide, they hide in the World
