(L) No artistic
creation -- no creation of any sort -- indeed, no interpretation -- is truly
original. Creation and interpretation
are rather like mathematics, or cookery, or -- better still -- chemistry: one
puts together the various influences of a heredity and environment -- which
last covers everything, really, including the first -- and you may get just a
mixture with the properties of all the original influences relatively
discernible; but if the conditions are right, if there is a catalyst in the
environment, you may develop a compound-like structure, a completely new
approach and attitude: new, but not truly original, for it is wholly rooted in
older matters, however different from them it may be.
What fun
this all is.
