More From Tanith Lee

... he preferred his own madness, to the regular sanity. he rejoiced in his own madness, he was free. he did not want that old sanity of the world, which was become so repulsive. he rejoiced in the new-found world of his madness. it was so fresh and delicate and so satisfying.

Changing things is not easy, and i say this without any irony. it is not that someone does not want to, but because it is a hard thing to do. take obama, a forward-thinking man, a liberal, a democrat. did he not pledge to shut down guantanamo before his election? but did he do it? no, he did not. and may i ask why not? did he not want to do it? he wanted to, i am sure he did, but it did not work out. he sincerely wanted to do it, but did not succeed, since it turned out to be very complicated.

It is madness. and if you don't know who you are, or if your real self has drifted away from you with the undertow, madness at least gives you an identity. it's the same with self-loathing. you're probably just normal and normal-looking but that's not a real identity, not the way ugliness is. normality, just accepting that you're probably normal-looking, lacks the force field of self-disgust. if you don't know who you are, madness gives you something to believe in.

From the alienated starting point of our pseudo-sanity, everything is equivocal. our sanity is not "true" sanity. their madness is not "true" madness. the madness of our patients is an artifact of the destruction wreaked on them by us, and by them on themselves.
Pseudo Patient Madness
In the renaissance, madness was present everywhere and mingled with every experience by its images or its dangers. during the classical period, madness was shown, but on the other side of bars; if present, it was at a distance, under the eyes of a reason that no longer felt any relation to it and that would not compromise itself by too close a resemblance. madness had become a thing to look at: no longer a monster inside oneself, but an animal with strange mechanisms, a bestiality from which man had long since been suppressed.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. but the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

I write poetry because i can’t disobey the impulse; it would be like blocking a spring that surges up in my throat. for a long time i’ve been the servant of the song that comes, that appears and can’t be buried away. how to seal myself up now?…it no longer matters to me who receives what i submit. what i carry out is, in that respect, greater and deeper than i, i am merely the channel.

To call it an anticlimax would be an insult not only to climaxes but to prefixes. it's a crummy secret, about one step up the ladder of narrative originality from it was all a dream. it's so witless, in fact, that when we do discover the secret, we want to rewind the film so we don't know the secret anymore. and then keep on rewinding, and rewinding, until we're back at the beginning, and can get up from our seats and walk backward out of the theater and go down the up escalator and watch the money spring from the cash register into our pockets.
Dream Spring Secret
The romans had, like other pagan nations, a nature festival, called by them saturnalia, and the northern peoples had yule; both celebrated the turn of the year from the death of winter to the life of spring - the winter solstice. as this was an auspicious change the festival was a very joyous one... the giving of presents and the burning of candles characterized it. among the northern people the lighting of a huge log in the houses of the great and with appropriate ceremonies was a feature.
