common-place and a common-place thing does not contain feeling. That is what makes a common-place thing a common-place thing, that that it does not contain feeling.
Let me say that so that you that is I cannot may not be mistaken in saying this thing.
What makes a thing as it is coming out in being said or written what makes that thing a common-place thing, not what is that they felt before they said anything that is always supposing that they stopped long enough to feel anything. Has anything anything to do with stopping long enough to feel anything is it or is it not so.
Let me get solidly down really solidly to one of any two things and that one is the audience there may be there is there could be there will be there can be there shall be there has been there or again is not an audience to anything. Anything is not alike to any audience and yet it is. That is what any one is inclined to know that any audience is not alike or is and is mostly either one that is not alike or is.
That is something that is really not anything and I have found out that it is made up of anything and that anything is that one thing.
What is an audience and why is anybody that is everybody always mentioning that thing. Anybody can mention an audience it is perfectly extraordinary how often I myself have had it mentioned that an audience is an audience and yet after all what do I who hear them tell it or they who tell it to me know about it. I have really found out quite a good deal about what an audience is by a simple series of adventures with it. I have been without it, and I have been with it, I have been myself be it to myself and I I have almostbeen without being it to myself and then I came suddenly to find myself having had it without hearing that I was going to have had it that is not an outside audience but myself to it and then I found out something about Shakespeare’s sonnets and really this has something to do with history although perhaps perhaps although even I do not believe it even if I do which I do.
Then listen while I tell it but this I know anybody will do because it is something to tell which is not the telling of it. But nevertheless this I will do.
Writing was writing if it was being written and in it even if I was talking I was not talking as I was writing, nor was I writing as I was talking, why should anyone do that, but think use your common sense why should really why why should anyone do that.
Just really why should anyone do that that is why do I not do that of course I do not nobody should do that.
And this is the reason why.
As I say anybody is as their land and air and water sky and wind and anything else is and everything always is, it is not curiously not necessary to look out of the window to know that and yet everybody can need to do that they need to look out of the window not to find out what is what but for two reasons one reason is that they look out of the window which is what they do and the other is that as they look they look out of the window, not because of anything not because of that. Really and truly has anyone more curiosity than they have and what can they do about it.
I saw a fire engine house to-day that was exactly like the ones they used to be when I was a child even inside to the man sitting and yawning while he was waiting, he was waiting for a fire and sometimes a fire comes. Thereis no why not about that because sometimes a fire alarm comes and sometimes the fire comes and it was exactly as I remembered although if I had to try to tell about it I would not have quite remembered not quite remembered particularly how the doors looked in proportion to the buildings.
But to come back to the audience because after all there is no one who can be one if he is not one and so sometimes this can happen that no one alone has been no one has been one audience to that thing. I was, to that fire engine house. I really was I was just that
