Like a saint's vision of beatitude. Like the veil of things as they seem drawn back by an unseen hand. For a second you seeโand seeing the secret, are the secret. For a second there is meaning! Then the hand lets the veil fall and you are alone, lost in the fog again, and you stumble on toward nowhere, for no good reason!

Eugene O'NeillWhy canโt you remember your Shakespeare and forget the third-raters. Youโll find what youโre trying to say in him- as youโll find everything else worth saying. 'We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with sleep.'' - 'Fine! Thatโs beautiful. But I wasnโt trying to say that. We are such stuff as manure is made on, so letโs drink up and forget it. Thatโs more my idea.
