This evening I am alone.

Alone in a hotel room.

It is now that the moment should arrive, if it is ever to arrive, when, freed of any presence, it is possible for a man to be rid of memory itself.

So why am I reminded of the existence of others? Is it that I like myself so little —at least not enough to satisfy myself, to stand being with myself. Solitude, the loveliest festival, will your miracle arrive? I have to keep repeating that I do not like myself this evening and never will, any more than I can recognize myself in this room. The hotel room where I am alone.

As if it were some grievous sin, I accuse myself of thinking of others, and not myself.

René Crevel, Mon corps et moi

Rene Crevel

At top below are 9 members of the Surrealist movement. The photo was taken around 1933 in Paris, France. Lt - Rt they are: Tristan Tzara, Paul Eluard, Andre Breton, Jean Rap, Salvador Dali, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Rene Crevel, and Man Ray. Below are some of the gentlemen that would power the major post-Derleth, H. P. Lovecraft scholarship movement beginning in the early 70s. Their names are listed in a previous Exhibit, but the importance to the serious investigation of Lovecraft's works and life by these individuals cannot be overstated. One has to wonder if the similarities of the later photo's composition was in answer to the older? (Exhibit 306)

I speak only of myself since I do not wish to convince,

I have no right to drag others into my river,

I oblige no one to follow me and everybody,

practices his art in his own way

“Straight lines go too quickly to appreciate the pleasures of the journey. They rush straight to their target and then die in the very moment of their triumph without having thought, loved, suffered or enjoyed themselves. Broken lines do not know what they want. With their caprices they cut time up, abuse routes, slash the joyous flowers and split the peaceful fruits with their corners. It is another story with curved lines. The song of the curved line is called happiness.” 

― Rene Crevel

Now we're going to take a trip. Every night we'll have a new room, but always with the twin beds as close as possible to each other, and we'll talk a long time before going to sleep. We'll stay in bed late every morning. We'll eat in dining cars, and so that nobody recognizes us I’ll call you Miss Fork.

You, you'll call me Mr. Knife, and people will think we're a Spanish couple on our honeymoon.
