Debris 6

Part of the cluster DEBRIS.

I UNDERSTAND your anguish, but I cannot help you, I approach, hear, behold—the sad mouth, the look  
 out of the eyes, your mute inquiry, Whither I go from the bed I now recline on, come  
  tell me; Old age, alarmed, uncertain—A young woman's  
 voice appealing to me, for comfort, A young man's voice, Shall I not escape?

Part of the cluster DEBRIS.
