When all the ghouls of childhood
with glowing eyes around you stood
and terrified you in your bed
remember that your father said
of how God protects the very good.
"This journal is not a mere literary diversion. The further I progress, reducing to order what my past life suggests, and the more I persist in the rigor of composition--of the chapters, of the sentences, of the book itself--the more do I feel myself hardening in my will to utilize, for virtuous ends, my former hardships. I feel their power." --Jean Genet
