1) "junked lives," "bitterness," "Buying a plow to plow your own children under,

buying the arms and spirits that might have saved you."

2) There's a premium goes with this pile of junk and the bay horses—so beautiful—a packet of bitterness to grow in your house and to flower, some day. We could have saved you, but you cut us down, and soon you will be cut down and there'll be none of us to save you."
