The Trial
David Jagger, 1891 - 1958
It’s only because of their stupidity that they’re able to be so sure of themselves
— Franz Kafka, The Trial
But I
Have tamed
Myself–
I have stomped
On the throat
Of my own song
— Vladimir Mayakovsky, from ‘At the Top of My Voice’
What I try to do is write. I may write for two weeks ‘the cat sat on the mat, that is that, not a rat,’…. And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try. When I’m writing, I write. And then it’s as if the muse is convinced that I’m serious and says, ‘Okay. Okay. I’ll come.
