"The fact that Fowles was once very famous and is now mostly forgotten seems to back up his wise advice."

"Sabbath

There is an eye, there was a slit.
Nights walk, and confer on him fear.
The strangler tree, the dancing mouse
confound his vision; then they loosen it.
Henry widens. How did Henry House
himself ever come here?

Nights run. Tes yeux bizarres me suivent
when loth at landfall soft I leave.
The soldiers, Coleridge Rilke Poe,
shout commands I never heard.
They march about, dying & absurd.
Toddlers are taking over. O

ver! Sabbath belling. Snoods converge
on a weary-daring man.
What now can be cleared up? from the Yard the visitors urge.
Belle thro’ the graves in a blast of sun
to the kirk moves the youngest witch.
Watch."

"The elderly are like autumn leaves here, fragile and breakable. Adults are hamsters in a wheel." —Abubaker Abed via

"Kierkegaard’s discovery is that genuine commitment subtracts the ornament. Where the commitment is real, the mark disappears."
