Description
Excerpt from The Flurried Years
One word is too often profaned So often that I will not. And because I think Love, in my exquisite sense, is too beautiful and too rare. Once in a blue moon I The blossoming of an aloe! I confess I should like to see the word and the particular emotion it describes, relegated to the categories of abnormality - used to signify some monstrous spiritual growth. For me the propa ganda which makes the world go round - not on - is liking, not love, liking with a little l, not Love with a big one, jogging it all the time so as to carry on in a desultory manner the uncalled-for curse of existence by a series of small shocks - as one might say the progression of a motor-car. And what is Passion but a dangerous kind of cargo that one takes on board, contraband more often than not, and of absorbing interest to the mechanician since it implies danger, stress, and effort, and entails pains and penalties which may make a continuance of the journey impossible.
