| Introduction | “Well,” said Jeremiah, “the moments have shattered the contentment of life wedged among the dusty spines of current bestsellers and neglected Bibles. Life must be lived. I must never strangle myself with insecurities and unrecognized dreams. I exchange the placid comfort of bookcases and reading tables for the uncertainty of heated broilers and crowded kitchens. But, here is Percival – one to adore and envy; I am thinking sentimentally of playful evenings – glass of wine, volumes of Emerson, frantic bursts of lusty passion. I know he is thinking, ‘Here is Jeremiah – ordinary, unremarkable, droll, and uninspired.’ I comment on a book. I am dull; he is brilliant. He turns away; the moment passes. Perhaps I have been too rash.” |
