“Lifes so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where theres freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. Thats why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Whos Who.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages oer;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out of door.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
