Muriel Spark, The go-away bird



There were times when, privately practising my writings about life, I knew the bitter side of my fortune. When I failed again and again to reproduce life in some satisfactory and perfect form, I was the more imprisoned, for all my carefree living, within my craving for this satisfaction. Sometimes, in my impotence and need I secreted a venom which infected all my life for days on end and which spurted out indiscriminately on Skinny or on anyone who crossed my path.
‘You aren’t bound by anyone,’ George said. ‘You come and go as you please. Something always turns up for you. You’re free, and you don’t know your luck.’
