Did he really say that?

The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = GEORGE CARLIN...Stained glass, engraved glass, frosted glass–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES...Music is the mathematics of the gods = PYTHAGORAS...Nothing is more fluid than language = R.L.SWIHART

Letter to Scott Fizgerald, Two Years Dead


Edmund Wilson wrote this letter upon publishing F. Scott's Fitzgerald's CRACK-UP

THERE IS NO QUESTION...NOR IS THERE ANY DEBATE...ANYONE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A WRITER...
YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK.







The mountain top was his
And hers


All others could hear
Their every breath
Their morning death
After falling through the night


All others could see
With the same eye
Scott & Zelda
Falling through the sky...


Why


Mount Olympus has no parachute
Only gravity


Success Fated to get the best
Of them

Through the looking glass



On the mountain top
Scott cracked up


Dropping & crashing
Also did Zelda

Plunging With more gravity
than Imelda

Had shoes


Jesus Christ almost had

As many followers


There is no greater weight
Than madness
