Coleridge
was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was killed by a man whom he was
treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's name out of a
satire then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow.
Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you still want to a
writer - and if so, why?
- Bennett Cerf
