William walks alone. In quiet shelter of these lofty spires. These pinnacles to the wit of man, that stand testament to their greatness, in this learned town. For his mind was once, like them - An edifice of brilliance. But knowledge is a heavy book to bear. Rendered him a shell. Despair. Surrendered him. Insanity. To which his lifes' profanity, Is to walk. Incanting philosophies - Of only his. Unkempt. A beggar - Not a fool... A victim of a school!!!
Reason for writing:
This man truly exists.
