Henry Miller Quotes
Returning To The Boat We Passed Bridges, Railroad Tracks, Warehouses, Factories, Wharves And What Not. It Was Like Following In The Wake Of A Demented Giant Who Had Sown The Earth With Crazy Dreams. If I Could Only Have Seen A Horse Or A Cow, Or Just A Cantankerous Goat Chewing Tin Cans, It Would Have Been A Tremendous Relief. But There Was Nothing Of The Animal, Vegetable Or Human Kingdom In Sight. It Was A Vast Jumbled Waste Created By Pre-human Or Sub-human Monsters In A Delirium Of Greed. It Was Something Negative, Some Not-ness Of Some Kind Or Other. It Was A Bad Dream And Towards The End I Broke Into A Trot, What With Disgust And Nausea, What With The Howling Icy Gale Which Was Whipping Everything In Sight Into A Frozen Pie Crust. When I Got Back To The Boat I Was Praying That By Some Miracle The Captain Would Decide To Alter His Course And Return To Piraeus.
