| Bio: | This journal is an exercise in catharsis. All borrowed words are cited accordingly.  In the eyes of every author, I fancy his own past work falls into four classes: First, the pure trash which he regrets ever having conceived. Second-- for him the most painful-- the good ideas which his incompetence or impatience prevented from coming to much. Third, the pieces he has nothing against except their lack of importance. These must invariably form the bulk of any collection, since were he to limit it to the fourth class alone-- to those works for which he is honestly grateful-- his volume would be too depressingly slim. -W.H. Auden, 1944 | ||||
