I have 10, 000 engagements of state today,
-
but I would prefer to spend the day getting a wet arse,
-
studying dandelions and marvelling at bloody spiders' webs.
-
You've found God, sir?
-
I think he found me.
-
Do you have any idea how inconvenient that is,
-
how idiotic it will sound?
-
I've a political career glittering ahead of me
-
and in my heart I want spiders' webs.

and still unknown to himself."
