| Introduction | Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge. "No daring is fatal," said Rene Crevel, a phrase which I shall not forget. The whole logic of the universe is contained in daring, i.e., in creating from the flimsiest, slenderest support. In the beginning this daring is mistaken for will, but with time the will drops away and the automatic process take its place, which again has to be broken or dropped and a new certitude established which has nothing to do with knowledge, skill, technique or faith. By daring one arrives at this mysterious X position of the artist, and it is this anchorage which no one can describe in words but yet subsists and exudes from every line that is written. --Henry Miller |
