"..in the world"

"At the top of the tallest building in the world..
Sat the sadest man in the world;
and inside the man was the lonliest heart in the world..
and inside the heart was the deepest pit in the world..
and at the bottom of the pit was the blackest mud in the world..
and in the mud lay the lightest, loveliest, tenderest, most beautiful happy angel in the universe.
So things weren't so bad after all."
