THE FREE MAN

The writer having achieved a
measure Of success E. must submit
with good grace to its hazards. He
depends upon a tickle public. He is
at the mercy Of journalists who
want to interview him and photog-
raphers who want to take his pic
ture, Of editors who harry him for
copy and tax gatherers who harry
him for income tax, Of women who
want to marry him and women
who want to divorce him, Of agents,
publishers, managers, bores, ad-
mirers, critics, and his own con-
science. But he has one compen-
sation. Whenever he has anything
on his mind, whether it be a har-
assing reflection, grief at the death
of a friend, unrequited love,
wounded pride, anger at the
treachery Of someone to whom he
has shown kindness, in short any
emotion or any perplexing thought,
he has only to put it down in black
and white, using it as the theme of
a story or the decoration Of an
essay, to forget all about it. He is
the only free man.-W. Somerset
