Summer Offensive

“Does he lie there
forever, where his rifle waits, giant

and live again,
Johnny, each summer that moves inside
my mind.”

“There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
