    Just re-read the bios of each.

    "Baudelaire" by Enid Starkie
    "Balzac" by Stephan Zweig
    "Thomas Wolfe: A Biography" by Elizabeth Nowell

    What lives!

    What nutcases!

    Most of the best writers are shits or crazies. Not many are Wallace Stevens, walking to and from The Hartford, (although rumor has it he was kind of a shit, too). I hope I'm the latter rather than the former. Crazy is helpful sometimes.
