The Rail

“Bert Desjardins no less eccentric – playing he walked across the Moody Street Bridge with me the first morning I went to St. Joseph brothers school – the rail was on our left, iron, separating us from the 100-foot drop to the roaring foams of the rocks in their grisly eternity (that became white be-maned hysterical horses in the night) – he said “I remember my first day at school, I wasn’t tall enough to look over the thick bar of that rail, you’re going to grow just like I did right over it – in no time!” I couldn’t believe it.”

Kerouac, Jack. Doctor Sax. Grove Press, New York, 1959. Page 73.
