Literature "the one place [where] we can hear
voices
talking about everything in every
possible way." Rushdie
a muse of fire: I like to first seize on to some jagged
outcrop of memory and anchor my thoughts there. Upon considering
the potential shape of this page Iwas
given two quotes, both of them from Shakespeare. The
first bit o' the bard is a line from the Tempest,
better suited for endings, I think - I'll run a riff with it later on.
The springboard I'm bounding from is, deliciously, the rather
rigid declaration of convention from the prologue
of Henry V.
