  • what a god awful situation to be in... taking a cousin to the insane asylum... "when people are to good in this world, they have to be put under lock and key. there is something wrong with people who are to good..." oh god. the end of this clip brings tears to my eyes.... im not an old man either. not a middle aged man. straight out of high school. this clip just tears your heart out... "even a puppy knows when it is being taken to a pond to be drown..."

  • Most people cannot understand how a person could be this honest.

  • Hes life. Life this mysterious yet beautiful. Yet completely and utterly fucked and disgusting. Yet there is always light somewhere. Bursts of beauty through all the monotony and agony. Always something worth living for that shines brighter than any dark moment. Read his analysis of Van Goghs letters in Plexus. My other favorite part of a Henry Miller book besides this one

  • Beautiful and soulful —you don't get that in 'famous' writers any more. 

  • Comment removed

  • Хенри дивни Милер, сигурно би био против Медлин Олбрајт, Клинтона и Нато-а, као и против душмана Србије... један од највећих писаца западне цивилизације.

  • This beautiful, but very very sad! Miller had a heart of Gold, really he did!

  • Miller was one of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, or maybe even the greatest. At the moment I can't think of anyone better.

  • thank you

  • very nice 

  • Very nice. 

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is from "The Tailor Shop" a short story in "Black Spring". If you read nothing else by Miller, read "The Tailor Shop".

  • @jab3785 I prefer the 14th Ward and The 3rd or 4th Day of Spring, but this is up there. All of Black Spring.

  • Wonderfully sensitive and thoughtful.

  • One of the greatest man ever.

  • @damirbos couldn't agree with you more.

  • Great artist!<Great man.

    Stefano from Rome

  • Thank you so much for this. This passage breaks my heart. Miller is my absolute hero!

  • beautiful - he makes me feel like a new yorker

  • Henry Valentine Miller in 1976, according to Norman Mailer, was: "The World's Greatest Living American Writer."

  • Henry Miller! Um dos grandes gênios da literatura mundial no século XX. Mas por ironia ele teve que ir embora dos Estados Unidos, pois lá ele era censurado. Foi na França que suas obras se espalharam pelo mundo.

    Miller pregava uma liberdade sexual numa época onde ainda não existia a Aids. Ele era anárquico, irreverente, irônico e demolidor. Miller faz falta nos dias de hoje!

  • thank you for the post . this is great!

  • From which book comes this fragment?

  • the excerpt is from Black Spring

    "Always merry and bright!"

  • @cosac84 Black Spring.
