I cannot criticize the pessimism and despair of these artists who have been ruined by the world chaos. In other words, I still have a living, and cannot understand their problem. When I am in the position, will I be any better? I am afraid not.]_____________; P.M. Arthur & I to see Gulliver’s Travels. An enjoyable film.
