DEAREST FRIENDS
"Dearest friends. A sweet lot of dearest friends I've got. All of them lying about in swinish stupors, while I'm practically up and about."
From The Little Hours
"I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme." -- Henry James
I used to do a Dorothy Parker piece [speech team set in the ancient days of 'My Brilliant (high school) Career!'] about a woman waiting for the telephone to ring ... "ring, damn you, just ring!" & whatnot.
