-2-for one creature or another, go through her books in an ecstasy of sympathy pangs for the doomed and damned lovers. Some ball. If ever I rise to such emotional heights as an appendectomy, I'll be a menace.By chance or design, I seem to be concerned with the works of monstrously clever women - The poems of Marianne Moore have also been giving me a great deal of pleasure. "The Hero," for instance:"We do not like some things, and the herodoesn't; deviating head stonesand uncertainty;going where one does not wishto go; suffering and notsaying so; standing and listening where somethingis hiding."Glorious, almost frightening.Even so, I refuse to be intimidated or deterred by these god-like dedicated beings - I want to write, and I have a touching belief that if I belabour the language long and rigorously enough, I shall one day beat it into submission. Out of all this will emerge my masterpiece, limp and cowed.I send you greetings from the Valley of the Mongoloids, all shaved and show.All forlorn,Blake.
