The Importance of Sincerity

Simon Syme was a sincere man, and in spite of his superficial heirs and graces, he grew a humble one. The proud man watches himself too closely. He defended respectability with violence and exaggeration. And the glory of her strange hair ran like red thread through those dark and ill-drawn tapestries of the night. When Syme went out into the starlet street, he fatted for a moment empty. In the wild events which were to follow, the girl had no part at all. But yeah, in some indescribable way, she kept recurring like a motive and music through all his mad adventures afterwards.
