In the absence of evidence
April 15, 2009 at 6:43 pm | Posted in writing | 6 Commentsagainst, your honour, may I plead getting on with my business? I am after all born into the age of pink sugar and whilst I accept that I am indeed in contempt of court, I also assert that is not of my own doing. My contempt was forced on me by the ridiculousness of your attire.
It is done, he said, turning to you, I shall call it “On The Complete Anonymity Of The Artist” and discard it on some esplanade.

There is this quote I hope you like
“The illusion (if there is one) comes, on the contrary, from the impersonality of the work. It is a principle of mine that a writer must not be his own theme. The artist in his work must be like God in his creation — invisible and all-powerful: he must be everywhere felt, but never seen.”
this idea applies to any kind of artist (musician, actor, ….)

Is it a life sentence? Ohhhh, I smell volume two from Mr Paul Squires? How exciting!

I like the last sentence of the first paragraph….
Cool, ‘contempt’ is one of my favourite words and I get so few opportunities to use it.

Thankyou Thomma Lyn. Have the tadpoles transmutated into frogs yet? I will go have a look.

It is a nice word and fits well between ‘artist’ and ‘discard’
