According to some online dictionary, 'bluster' means something like
'crying with mad wrath'. I have no idea how you managed to find this
in there but I ask of you the kindness to stop ascribing your own,
foul temper and moods to me --- I wrote this because I wanted to
express something, each part of it serving some purpose towards
accomplishing that I spent quite some time thinking about, and because
it was fun to write.
