When you're writing, you're throwing it all in your dream machine. And you're throwing in whatever is handy and what is useful to you. And by the time I'm finished writing the book, I don't know whether something is drawn from life or not. It's been remade.

The choice (Yeats)

The intellect of man is forced to choose
Perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.

W. B. Yeats, from "The Choice"
