      And yet I feel alone.

      This is not sarcasm. Today at work has been awful.

      At this moment, I feel a particular kinship with Kafka, in a way I wouldn’t even dare to consider on any other day.

      found this particularly hilarious: “Friends, such as Ezra Pound, constantly complaining for Eliot’s pitiful job.”

      i can imagine that bearded schizo hanging around Eliot’s office and scaring everybody with rants in italian. good stuff.

      Ah, very interesting. I only wish I could be reading this from work. As I am reading it on a road trip and have no job other than to write – but writing has yet to pay anything sufficient and there is always the need for food. It is easier to write about starving when you have a fuller belly.
