Loss

She wept again last night.

Wept, not cried. I realize now

A difference does exist.

It's not in the force of tears, or

The cause behind the effect;

I think it has most to do with

The deep sense of loss that

Drives her life, like a

Merciless cavalier with his

spurs dug into her flank.

I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.

Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)

Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.

An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
