You can see his skill at writing expressed in each line. What was interesting to me was the contrast between the effect of the alcohol/drugs against the effect on the husband helping the blind man see the cathedral. That genuine, human experience had true meaning whereas the effect of the scotch and cannabis had none, except for inducing sleep. The last two lines shot a lump into my throat. Well done.
