I think that people who lose it to fits of hysterical laughter during performance and have to start songs over as a result are next to godly. There is an opera cast living in my head, but I really don't mind them. Sometimes they sing something worth writing down, but mostly they just rehearse in there and have parties. I collect old editions of the Norton anthologies, and enjoy getting sound out of everything I can, like plastic cups and the tables in the cafe at Wegman's. I don't want to make dents in the world; I'd like to fill in the existing ones with something good. I have just used the word 'I' way too many times.
You are the Marquis Da Sade. Even stripped of
exaggerations, Your real life was as dramatic
and as tragic as a cautionary tale. Born to an
ancient and noble house, you were married
(against your wishes) to a middle-class heiress
for money, caused scandals with prostitutes and
with your sister-in-law, thus enraging your
mother-in-law, who had you imprisoned under a
lettre de cachet for 14 years until the
Revolution freed you. Amphibian, protean,
charming, you became a Revolutionary,
miraculously escaping the guillotine during the
Terror, only to be arrested later for
publishing your erotic novels. You spent your
final 12 years in the insane asylum at
Charenton, where you caused another scandal by
directing plays using inmates and professional
actors. You died there in 1814, virtually in
the arms of your teenage mistress.
You are a revolutionary deviant. I applaud you.
