Maybe I shall publish a novella one day, Miss Inez Pince-
Nez thought - my brother the ever helpful and so delighful
Peter Pan from Neverland sent me a book on writing books
BUT that got short shrift as the example given there, template
and pattern for creating according to recipe, sounds AWFUL
to me, when I dream of writing books
I visualize Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Madame Scudery,
Heloise and Abélard, Noble Savage, Flaubert and Madame
Bovary - I WRONGLY thought the Queen of Hearts was like
Mme Bovary but I was wrong, not having read the novel I
never knew the Queen was not in that class, she worked
harder than most slaving in an office all day, doing more
After hours, when she entertained, she held Conan by her
side blissfully unaware how strange their match - blind to
the fact that his presence was not a credit to her aspirations -
Conan MY Barbarian, dear bristling Conan, in salty sailor-
mood, watched the Queen's ceremonies with a jaundiced
eye, Conan, spectacle specimen, balancing on one leg
The strangest Tin Soldier picture in the universe, making rude
remarks about stomach disorders and intestines; this reminds
of a memo to myself: I would NEVER recommend great society
ladies having smart soireés attended by author-buffoons with the
sensitivity of rats, afterwards chronicling their impressions without
delicacy - such as Balzac, reading Eugénie Grandet I felt a crude
Presence in the author and upon reading the biography of Honore
de Balzac my suspicions were verified...
