Pondering Pushkin

Pondering Pushkin



Aleksander Sergeevich Pushkin (Russian author, 1799-1837) provided an incredibly

rare insight with these brutally honest and candid words spoken casually to a friend,


"How do I know what I think until I see what I write."




🙂 Hmm...

Shav, my read is that the insight may apply universally. Something to do with everyman's awareness

and tutored instinct... to thrust deep into the cerebral inkwell because of the finality of print.

i can just picture you thrusting deep into the cerebral inkwell. brings to mind George Burns' remark that having sex at his age was trying to shoot pool with a length of rope.

at any rate, your amusing pomposity will bring an element of comic relief to Culture Forum, should you elect to continue posting here.
