We all yearn in our hearts to be Larkin's shit in the shuttered chateau, but few of us achieve that grand apotheosis.

We all yearn in our hearts to be Larkin's shit in the shuttered chateau, but few of us achieve that grand apotheosis.

We all yearn in our hearts to be Larkin's shit in the shuttered chateau, but few of us achieve that grand apotheosis.

We all yearn in our hearts to be Larkin's shit in the shuttered chateau, but few of us achieve that grand apotheosis.
