would often read a thick book there, work on what appeared to be his debut novel or just stare at a ceiling in the most intellectual fashion. I would pass by, nod in order to greet the master but not to stir the invisible circles surrounding this young talented mind. “Oh, Morgan, Morgan, may your brilliance be blessed,” I would think to myself….
