Mr. Lawrence

...Not listen to the didactic statements of the author, but to the low, calling cries of the characters,as they wander in the dark woods of their destiny.

Dreamwork

It seems to me like this.Its not a terrible thing-I mean it may be terrible, but its not damaging, its not poisoning to do without something one really wants.
What is terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate.To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

- Doris Lessing

The Madman

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends
The lunatic, the lover and the poet,
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman;the lover all as frantic,
See Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name...
