—Just stop here for a minute and let me put in a disclaimer, want to be clear that I’m not giving or even purporting to give you legal advice, just another formality. That’s what you pay for. You think I want something else out of it? I got something else. I got a chance I’d have never had otherwise. I got the chance to read your play. You remember Conrad describing his task, to make you feel, above all to make you see? and then he adds perhaps also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask? That’s what I’m talking about, that’s what you’re giving us in your play old fellow, what you can do that none of the rest of us can. Maybe you’re not even aware of how many of us envy these gifts you’ve got, look around at all the bad poems and bad art by people who can’t spell and can’t draw, bad books by somebody not because he wants to write, he wants to be a writer, millionaire stock peddler, car maker, general but he wants to be an author while the brilliant work of some real writer lies there gathering dust, a play like yours courts oblivion because there’s no one around with the wit to grasp its possibilities, to see what you saw there and put it up on the stage where it belongs.
