“Gerard Dulouz was born in 1917
a sickly little kid with a rheumatic heart
and many other complications that made him ill
for the most part of his life which ended in July 1926,
when he was 9, and the nuns of St Louis de France Parochial School
were at his bedside to take down his dying words because
they'd heard his astonishing revelations of heaven
delivered in catechism class on no more
encouragement than that it was
his turn to speak.”
– Jack Kerouac
