"We poets in our youth begin in gladness
Thereof comes in the end despondency and madness"
So Wordsworth said, and I have learned to my own cost, though the doctor says it was the drugs and alcohol and an operation gone dreadfully wrong. I never was a poet, but now I am anything I want. As for Chatterton, referenced above by Wordsworth, he was not mad but a fraud like me and my clients. Honestly, I think that is what drove me mad. Having to pretend all the time that I and they are morally sane. It would drive anyone mad. Even you.
