When invited to dine, even with an intimate friend, he was not pleased if something better than a plain dinner was not prepared for him. I have heard him say on such an occasion, ‘This was a good dinner enough, to be sures but it was not a dinner to ask a man to.' On the other hand, he was wont to express, with great glee, his satisfaction when he had been entertained quite to his mind. One day when we had dined with his neighbour and landlord in Bolt-court, Mr (Edmund) Allen, the printer, whose old housekeeper had studied his taste in every thing, he pronounced this eulogy: ‘Sir, we could not have had a better dinner had there been a Synod of Cooks.'--"Boswell's Johnson, p 120-121" "T hear with my ages so far-not a third; and have been amused, stimulated, charmed, interested, by the irst 2 or 3 chapters-to the end of the cemetery scene; and then puzzled, bored, irri- ated and disillusioned by a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples. And Tom, great Tom, thinks this on a par with War and Peace! An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating, When one can have the cooked flesh, why have the raw? But I think if you are anaemic, as Tom is, there is a glory in blood. Being fairly normal myself I am soon ready for the classics again. I may revise this later.

My judgement, to be sure, was not so good; but I had all the facts. I remember very well, when I was at Oxford, an old gentlenan said to me, "Young man, ply your book diligently now, and acquire a stock of knowledge; for when years come upon you, you will find that poring upon books will be but an irksome task"'--"Boswell's Johnson, p. 112" Well; I'd worn through the acute stage and come to the philosophic semi-depressed, indif- ferent, spent the afternoon taking parcels round the shops, going to Scotland Yard for my purse, when L. met me at tea and dropped into my ear the astonishing news that Lytton thinks the String Quartet "marvellous."

When I walked back through the living room, Adam was measuring white powder into the fish tank, which was a foot shorter than Adam. The two dozen Dr. Seuss fish floated around. “Feeding time?” I asked cheerfully. "Oh, no, this is antibiotic powder,” he said. "Do your fish have infections?" I asked jokingly, and laughed a bit. There was a silence, I felt like saying "Just joshing. "Yes," he said formally. "They do have infections, and I can assure you that there is nothing funny about fish infections." Everyone has his or her own private hell, I thought, and excused myself after saying that I hoped they all felt better soon.--"Lamott, Hard Laughter, p.247" Though his usual phrase for conversation was talk » yet he made a distinctions for when he once told me that he dined the day before at a friend's house, with ‘a very pretty company;' and I asked him if there was good conversation, he answered, No, Sirs we had talk enough, but no conversation; there was nothing discussed. “Boswell's Johnson. 0. 291" u€ze 7d “WOSUYOD s, {Lasog,--"uMop way} Play pue ‘way; pazlas Alayey wosuyop ‘spuey sty yo squaweAow aAtssaudxa Xq ‘padezzn ay 7eYM 07 32405 Leuoia pe Bura1B sem ay 3yGn047 (uoquen ydasop Aiq¥ssod) wews|quas JoyjoUe UOYyM Puy svasquapnaiage 2,uod, ‘gupod 3242 UL wy papuayso OUN (BAeUBSNy PAeyoLy ALS) ueWELIUEd B03 |9U0 pailea sy “fuedWo> UL BULe[ND14Se6 07 UOLsuane 2eaI5 B pey oH +4 TROIS WEBI ; rouqquetz0s-— "59757D OU} O3UT The Goofy Sailor unop sot03 pines a¢zids Au es ; dyyspuatzy pue eoueansseer UF TTeFive eleven and three quarters UaTM 97 Surzoonbs ‘euo psoetd ATES tmissed even that distinction ie SG ke nn ene AE eee hel uniderpste) cook earn elalcaas hanger ag oe tea oma tan $425 wisted into a comma by an insane grammarian, pou ces oc s neuen aor i Paee Aa Veer erTateceseg eal *Bodsexs yorm os you ‘ou ‘pedseztall Adam’s apple, oa ‘edeyied "BSISTNTS {,pezzes, Kes 03 5eOn this coat hanger comma, eg 08 06 30u TITM I "UO--P92FOSFlapping, flapping, flapping like a sail I ‘puey stu3 u3TM "37 JO pus 9uz oF pexts ATuTS OS Dey SANIEN FEUAHenry is loved in Mansfield, Ohio. pueu oun, ‘pued Aut /a7 abe SuCTEby two grandmothers and a shy Penelope ‘SuTyozerqs ‘spueutidez usyodsun Dad Gyles love ED yorey Aueu os oxFT ‘aEqeY Au sea seGoofy Jesus lo y vazouz pekezze SeusTP pue ‘sesseThand one stranger, igoraaeq ata Burzerb Aryans ‘etqe; | —-Patrick O'Connor dig ssozoe uxe Au pouo3es3s I]DOOR TO DOOR XXxI: 4 KOA It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so Pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything. I'ma little anxious. How am I to bring off this conception? Directly one gets to work one is like a person walking, who has seen the country stretching out before. I want to write nothing in this beok that I don't enjoy writing.

JOHNSON. "That's cant, Sir. It would not vex you more in the house, than in the gallery: publick affairs vex no man.' BOSWELL. ‘Have not they vexed yourself a little, Sir? Have you not been vexed by all the turbulence of this reign, and by that absurd vote of the House of Commons, "That the influence of the Crown has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished?"' JOHNSON. Sir, I have never slept an hour less, nor eat an ounce less meat. I would have knocked the factious dogs on the head, to be sure; but I was not vexed.' BOSWELL. 'I declare, Sir, upon my honour, I did imagine I was vexed, and took a pride in it; but it was, perhaps, cant; for I own I neither ate less, nor slept less.' JOHNSON. ‘'My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. You may talk as other people do: you may say to aman, "Sir, I am your most humble servant." You are not his most hunble servant. You may say, “These are sad times; it is a melancholy thing to be reserved to such times." You don't mind the times. You tell a man, "I am sorry you had such bad weather the last day of your journey, and were so much wet." You don't care six-pence whether he was wet or dry. You may talk in this manner; it is a mode of talking in Society: but don't think foolishly.'--"Boswell's Johnson, p. 302-303"DOOR TO DOOR XXXI: 5 KA I finished Ulysses and think it a mis-fire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior ee ee ee ge fe ee ae only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense, A first rate writer, I mean, re- spects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts. I'm reminded all the time of some callow board school boy, full of wits and powers, but so self-conscious and ego- tisticel that he loses his head, becomes extravagant, mannered, uproarious, i1] at ease, makes kindly people feel sorry for him and stern ones merely annoyed; and one hopes he'll grow out of it; but as Joyce is 40 this scarcely seems likely. I have not read it care- fully; and only once; and it is very obscure; so no doubt I have scamped the virtue of it more than is fair. I feel that myriads of tiny bullets pepper one and spatter one; but one does not get one deadly wound straight in the face-as from Tolstoy, for instance; but it is entirely absurd to compare him with Tolstoy.-~"Wednesday, Septenber 6th, 1922: Woolf, A Writer's Diary, p. 48" Ne talked of the education of children; and I asked him what he thought was best to teach them first, JOHNSON. 'Sir, it is no matter what you teach them first, any more than what leg you shall put into your breeches first. Sir, you may stand disputing which is best to put in first, but in the mean time your breech is bare. Sir, while you are considering which of two things you should teach your child first, another boy has learnt them both,'--Boswell's Johnson, p. 114" I am never so ridiculous as I am when criticized, even if it is implied criticism of my ethics or behavior. I do not take it well, not well at all. I begin plans for retaliation, or revenge, or vindication, and almost immediately decide that whoever is casting aspersions on my impeccable character is a hypocrite, a moral plebeian, or a bonehead. It is, I'm afraid, one of my big hypocrisies, this business of condemning people who condemn me for condemning me, and it is closely related to the ritual of gossiping maliciously about people who have gossiped maliciously about me for gossiping maliciously about me. It is all very sickening and toxin-generating, and it is also one of my patterns, and because it is an automatic response, I am sometimes able to turn it off very quickly after becoming aware of it. Sometimes. By the time Kathleen had sat back down next to me, I was winding up for a heartfelt and mildly indignant lecture on how sick I was of other people's morals and of other people's suggesting or telling me what I should do and what I should think and how I should act. I took a breath and uttered five words--"I think I must mention"--in a voice that could have been described as shrill if it had not been for all the flug in my throat. I coughed and cleared my throat, but it was too late, and Kathleen wae laughing.--"Lamott, Hard Laughter, pp. 197-198" WHY ISTHE oR Sel SAS SKY Bluce WARY 5 BETSY WLS C IM ACCOUNTING GIVING é ME SUCH A HARDTINE?
