Wayward Wanderer

The Slouch Hat, Jack Kerouac

”…Her great dark eyes surveyed me with emptiness and a kind of chagrin that reached back generations and generations in her blood from not having done what was crying to be done–whatever it was, and everybody knows what it was.”( Kerouac)

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion. -Kerouac

A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too- big world.
