in our age what is an author? An author is often only an x, even when his name is signed, something quite impersonal, which addresses itself abstractly, by the aid of printing, to thousands and thousands, while remaining itself unseen and unknown, living a life as hidden, as anonymous, as it is possible for a life to be

you and i are not snobs. we can never be born enough. we are human beings;for whom birth is a supremely welcome mystery,the mystery of growing:which happens only and whenever we are faithful to ourselves. you and i wear the dangerous looseness of doom and find it becoming. life,for eternal us,is now'and now is much to busy being a little more than everything to seem anything,catastrophic included.

am i conscious now?

of course i am. yes, i am conscious now.

am i conscious now?

of course i am. yes, i am conscious now.

but something odd happened. when i asked myself the question it was as though i became conscious at that moment. was i not conscious before? it felt as though i was waking up – coming to consciousness when i asked the question – because i asked the question.

what is going on? (calm down. take it slowly.)

i can remember what was happening just before i asked the question, so it seems that someone must have been conscious. was someone else conscious a moment before – as though the waking up is a change in who is conscious? it certainly didn’t feel as though it could have been me because i just woke up, but surely it wasn’t anyone else, for who else could there be in here?
