A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest or join another flock in emigration. Those other birds could be cranes, storks or even crows. If he makes it he will become a rogue again. Whenever he goes and whatever he writes he never reaches a destination or enjoys a landing. There's only Kipling's God of Fair Beginnings and skies above and beyond. And the only way for a writer to make peace with the Deity is through the language of Poetry.

America the Bogus

If you want to get a good look at the average American, read Studs Lonigan by Jame T. Farrell.  Studs Lonigan is more Babbit than Babbit and more believable and heart renching.  He is the sucker and lazy coward that is easy prey to the crooks that feed on us.

Discourse maketh a ready man.  Reading maketh a full man, and Writing maketh an exact man.  Is it possible to believe that any people can last long without a large minority who practice all three?  I doubt it.

One minute of real discourse is worth more than an hour of television, which is just a peep show.  TV doesn't just make us stupid and gullible.  It keeps us stupid and gullible.   It just flashes by.
