    What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it, dull to the contempory who reads it, invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it!

    The poet is like the prince of the clouds
    Who haunts the tempest and laughs at the archer;
    Exiled on the ground in the midst of jeers,
    His giant’s wings prevent him from walking.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    You’ve got many refinements. I don’t think you need to worry about your failure at long division. I mean, after all, you got through short division, and short division is all that a lady ought to be called on to cope with.
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
