James Schuyler Zitate

In the past I have declined to comment on my own work: because, it seems to me, a poem is what it is; because a poem is itself a definition, and to try to redefine it is to be apt to falsify it; and because the author is the person least able to consider his work objectively.

In der Vergangenheit habe ich mich geweigert, meine eigene Arbeit zu kommentieren: Weil es mir scheint, ist ein Gedicht das, was es ist; denn ein Gedicht ist selbst eine Definition, und wenn man versucht, es neu zu definieren, muss es geeignet sein, es zu verfälschen; und weil der Autor die Person ist, die am wenigsten in der Lage ist, seine Arbeit objektiv zu betrachten.

I decided to not be so dismissive of my music in favor of my acting. Acting has been such a consistent thing for me; a lot of times in the past, I wouldn't have had the confidence with my music to really make it a part of my schedule. I would easily push it to the side, or I would easily take up time that was needed for it.
