So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."
