I'll do this. I swear. It's just the nearest thing is the TNT and that's not a book. I'm excited to do it though!

As per your request...sort of...I'm not going to put it on my lj as I only have like five friends on there anyway and that would repeat people you've already tagged, SO! without further ado...

"Had I been able, in the subsequent composition, to construct more vigorous stanzas, I should, without scruple, have purposely enfeebled them, so as not to interfere with the climacteric effect. And here I may as well say a few words of the versification. My first object (as usual) was originality. The extent to which this has been neglected, in versification, is one of the most unaccountable things in the world."

It is from a letter written by Edgar Allen Poe explaining his philosophy of composition, which was found among my belongings in a book of his poetry atop a box on my living room floor. Perhaps I will dim the lights and burn some candles, get a glass of wine, put on my glasses, put on some strange ambient music and read some Poe. Oh...but I need a silk scarf and perhaps a hat... this is what actors do when they are unemployed...
