Every story, slenderized, starved, bluepenciled, leeched and bled white, resembled every other story. Twain read like Poe read like Shakespeare read like Dostoevsky read like – in the finale – Edgar Guest. Every word of more than three syllables had been razored. Every image that demanded so much as one instant’s attention – shot dead.

Do you begin to get the damned and incredible picture?

How did I react to all of the above?

By "firing" the whole lot.

By sending rejection slips to each and every one.

By ticketing the assembly of idiots to the far reaches of hell.

The point is obvious. There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist / Seven-day Adventist, Woman’s Lib / Republican, Mattachine / Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.

Quote By: Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Taken from poem " I Am Waiting" (A Coney Island of the Mind, 1958)

I am waiting for my case to come up
and I am waiting
for a rebirth of wonder
And I am waiting for someone
to really discover America
and wail
and I am waiting
for the discovery
of a new symbolic western frontier
And I am waiting
for the American Eagle
to really spread its wings
and straighten up and fly right
and I am waiting for the Age of Anxiety
to drop dead
and I am waiting
for the war to be fought
which will make the world safe
for anarchy
and I am waiting
for the final withering away
of all governments
and I am perpetually awaiting
a rebirth of wonder.

Quote By: Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tis the good reader that makes the good book;
in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or
asides hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear;
the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader;
the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine,
until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart.

The portal from the nether world;
A window through the frequencies;
Which mighty titans will you face
To heal your insufficiencies.

I am never free of the past.
I have made it crystal clear
that I believe the past is part
of the present which becomes part of the future.
