“I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it.

“When your account has these massive swings up and down, there's a tendency to feel a rush when the market is going your way and devastation when it's going against you.

“The more closely the author thinks of why he wrote, the more he comes to regard his imagination as a kind of self-generating cement which glued his facts together, and his emotions as a kind of dark and obscure designer of those facts.
