'Crane was almost unique in preferring to write while he was actually drunk.
Of course, one man's "drunk" is another's "mellow, peaceful, insightful
existence". I doubt that anyone can write anything meaningful when truly
blotto. Personally I can ONLY write poetry when I've been drinking. I
simply don't have any inspiration when I'm completely straight. But, I also
don't think Hart Crane was a very good poet, so maybe he was also MY
definition of "drunk" when he wrote.
looking forward to 'tea' in a few moments,
maybe I'll write something tonight, but share it?
only if it's truly inspired. probably not,
I'm saving the single malt for a real occasion and a humpday just ain't
cuttin it.
