Adolescence
When you are seventeen you aren't really serious.
Hell
I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.
Life and Living
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Taste
For a long time I found the celebrities of modern painting and poetry ridiculous. I loved absurd pictures, fanlights, stage scenery, mountebanks backcloths, inn-signs, cheap colored prints; unfashionable literature, church Latin, pornographic books badly spelt, grandmothers novels, fairy stories, little books for children, old operas, empty refrains, simple rhythms.
