“Un limite ancor più sostanziale della filosofia epicurea risiede nell'aridità spirituale della vita che raccomanda. Si tratta di una visione nevrastenica della felicità. Come in un sanatorio, non sono consentiti rumori; tutto ciò che rimane è una riposante immobilità. Così la vita è zittita, e gran parte della sua gioia svanisce.”

“And speaking of this wonderful machine: [840] I’m puzzled by the difference between Two methods of composing: A, the kind Which goes on solely in the poet’s mind, A testing of performing words, while he Is soaping a third time one leg, and B, The other kind, much more decorous, when He’s in his study writing with a pen. In method B the hand supports the thought, The abstract battle is concretely fought. The pen stops in mid-air, then swoops to bar [850] A canceled sunset or restore a star, And thus it physically guides the phrase Toward faint daylight through the inky maze. But method A is agony! The brain Is soon enclosed in a steel cap of pain. A muse in overalls directs the drill Which grinds and which no effort of the will Can interrupt, while the automaton Is taking off what he has just put on Or walking briskly to the corner store [860] To buy the paper he has read before.”
