"I then realized the immitigable chasm between all life and print, that those who can - do, and those who cannot, and suffer enough because they cannot, write about it."

                                                       -W. Faulkner

I put this site up, for not only my own edification, but the enlightenment of all those who visit. It is my first site, and within it holds the very struggles of my life. Despite the jovial, the penitent issue forth. Here you will find my literary foibles and forays. I offer them up as a priest would a sacrificial lamb. Here my soul is borne for the world to see.

“It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object.”

 -N. Hawthorne

“No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.” 

-N. Hawthorne
