222 - Suburban Transpondency

American writer Henry Miller, born in Brooklyn, New York, is known
for several 20th century works that reflect his own personal
experiences, including Tropic of Cancer (1934), Black Spring (1936)
and The Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy (1965). Miller's explicit and
often obscene content led the way for a new generation of American
writers. He died on June 7, 1980 in Pacific Palisades, California.
“Paris is like a whore. From a distance she seems ravishing, you
can't wait until you have her in your arms. And five minutes later
you feel empty, disgusted with yourself. You feel tricked.” "...God
knows, when spring comes to Paris the humbles mortal alive must
feel that he dwells in paradise....it is the the intimacy with
which his eye rests upon the scene. It is  his Paris. A man
does not need to be rich, nor even a citizen, to feel this way
about Paris." - Henry Miller
