God Takes Out Your Heart

It's Complementary. It's Fairly Clear Where The Boundaries Are. When I Start Telling You The Contents Of His Head, I Am Making It Up. But I Try To Make It Up Based On What Is On The Record. So Even My Wildest Speculations [on Thomas Cromwell] Will Have A Root Somewhere.

You Can Be Merry With The King, You Can Share A Joke With Him. But As Thomas More Used To Say, It's Like Sporting With A Tamed Lion. You Tousle Its Mane And Pull Its Ears, But All The Time You're Thinking, Those Claws, Those Claws, Those Claws.

One Of The Frustrations Of Someone Like Thomas Cromwell Is That, Before They Step Into The Light Of History, And Become Extremely Well Documented, They Are Not Known. A King Might Be Well Documented But Not Everyone.

[t]he Heart Is Like Any Other Organ, You Can Weigh It On A Scale.

I Dislike Pastiche; It Attracts Attention To The Language Only.
