"The house by the side of the road. Let me live in a house by the side of the road. Where the race of men go by. The men who are good and the men who are bad. As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat. Or hurl the cynie's ban - Let me live in a house by the side of the road. And be a friend to man."
