This evening I read Paul’s Case, a story by Willa Cather. Friend Lee-Anne read it in english class and passed it on to me.

It is a brilliantly written piece, and very personal.

I grab a parallel to Like A Rolling Stone, the famed Bob Dylan song, which I recalled while reading the story.

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain’t it hard when you discover that
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
