Daily Dose

From Death in Venice, by Thomas Mann

SOLITUDE

"Solitude begets originality, bold and disconcerting beauty, poetry. But solitude can also beget perversity, disparity, the absurd and the forbidden."

Translated by Michael Henry Heim

    Now, honey. Actually, I'd bet you could use a nice dose of "the forbidden," yes?
