    Not anyone can be a cuckold. If you are a cuckold, ergo your wife will be beautiful, ergo you will be well treated by her; ergo you will have plenty of friends; ergo you will be saved.

    A stranger has come
    To share my room in the house not right in the head,
    A girl mad as birds....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
