All.


I've always rejected being understood.  To be understood is to prostitute oneself.  I prefer to be taken seriously for what I'm not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect.  I wasn't meant for reality, but life cam and found me.  My soul is a hidden orchestra; I know not what instruments, what fiddlestrings and harps, drums and tambura I sound and clash inside myself.  All I hear is the symphony.  I am nothing.  I'll never be anything.  I couldn't want to be something.  Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.
