Can't Buy A Thrill


Bob Dylan: It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry



Bob Dylan: Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues


Are you surprised,
as if it were a novelty,
that after such long travel
and so many
changes of scene
you have not been able
to shake off the gloom
and heaviness of your mind?
You need change of soul
rather than
a change of climate.
Do you ask why
such flight does not help you?
It is because you flee
along with yourself.
You must lay aside
the burdens of the mind;
until you do this,
no place will satisfy you.
--Seneca
