Inspiration Versus Perspiration Per Leonard Cohen
I never depended too much on inspiration. Everyone I know is inspired in the sense that everybody has flashes of insight and moments of deep feeling and seizures of emotion.

I haven’t time to write anything else.
I’ve got to say my prayers.

I repeat: the important thing was to cuckold Leonard Cohen.
I like that line because it’s got my name in it.

As someone long prepared for the occasion
In full command of every plan you wrecked
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
that hides behind the cause and the effect.And you who were bewildered by a meaning
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed -
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.
