I am the happiest man alive. A year ago, six months ago, I thought that I was an artist. I no longer think about it, I <span style="font-style: italic;">am</span>. Everything that was literature has fallen from me. There are no more books to be written, thank God.<br /><br />This then? This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty . . . what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key, perhaps, but I will sing. I will sing while you croak, I will dance over your dirty corpse. . . .<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing. This then is a song. I am singing.<br /><br />- Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3088316072614561420-5553073256737831145?l=oakrose.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12248931030891607205noreply@blogger.com1
