It was absolutely beyond my ability at the time to imagine, I assure you! Since then, of course, my capacity for astonishing imaginings has been quite thoroughly expanded.
You know, thinking back to that stretch of time during which I was alternating detentions between you and Professor Dolohov, I cannot prevent myself from envisioning one of those charmed cartoons where a hapless fellow sits with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.
As to the poetry, I have found a most splendid quote by an American author, Mr Mark Twain, so with him I will say that it cannot be helped, the stuff seems to stew out of me naturally as the precious ottar of roses out of the otter.
