Summary
In his dreams he plays hangman and hanged man both. In his dreams the gallows are a form of theatre. Plays have long been banned into oblivion, and yet it is easy to figure Thomas-the-hangman, taller than he should be, stalling, looking every crowding face in the eye. Thomas-the-hangedman, for his part, is in the dark, a sack on his head, but fierce enough still to Smoke and rile up his audience into sharing.
[On falling in love in the dark, 1899]
