Аноним31 января 2017 г.Я думаю, что, испытав какое-то чувство, он терял интерес к человеку, это чувство вызвавшему. Я бы сказал, что бурные порывы эмоций странно сочетались у него с крайней бессердечностью.

Если сказать, что он бросал людей, получив от них все, что мог, это прозвучит грубовато; но чтобы выразить то же самое деликатнее, потребуется столько времени и нужно будет так тонко подбирать легкие, игривые намеки и полутона, что поскольку, в сущности, дело обстоит именно так, то этим можно и ограничиться.

Аноним26 марта 2016 г.Читать далееI began to meditate upon the writer’s life. It is full of tribulation. First he must endure poverty and the world’s indifference; then, having achieved a measure of success, he must submit with a good grace to its hazards. He depends upon a fickle public. He is at the mercy of journalists who want to interview him and photographers who want to take his picture, of editors who harry him for copy and tax gatherers who harry him for income tax, of persons of quality who ask him to lunch and secretaries of institutes who ask him to lecture, of women who want to marry him and women who want to divorce him, of youths who want his autograph, actors who want parts and strangers who want a loan, of gushing ladies who want advice on their matrimonial affairs and earnest young men who want advice on their compositions, of agents, publishers, managers, bores, admirers, critics, and his own conscience. But he has one compensation. Whenever he has anything on his mind, whether it be a harassing reflection, grief at the death of a friend, unrequited love, wounded pride, anger at the treachery of someone to whom he has shown kindness, in short any emotion or any perplexing thought, he has only to put it down in black and white, using it as the theme of a story or the decoration of an essay, to forget all about it. He is the only free man.

"They always prefer a live mouse to a dead lion. That's one of the reasons why I like America."

And I reflected also that there is no example in literary history of an author committing suicide while engaged on the composition of a literary work.

She had the serenity of a summer evening when the light fades slowly from the unclouded sky.

Аноним4 июня 2015 г.I do not know if others are like myself, but I a, conscious that I cannot contemplate beauty long. When the thing of beauty has given me the magic of its sensation my mind quickly wanders; I listen with incredulity to the persons who tell me that they can look with rapture for hours at a view or a picture. Beauty is an ecstasy; it is a simple as hunger.
