Lowry, Malcolm: After publication „Under the Volcano”
After publication „Under the Volcano” (English)Success is like some horrible disaster Worse than your house burning, the sounds of ruination As the roof tree falls following each other faster While you stand, the helpless witness of your damnation.
Fame like a drunkard consumes the house of the soul Exposing that you have worked for only this – Ah, that I had never suffered this treacherous kiss And had been left in darkness forever to founder and fail.
