"The Complete Work is essentially dramatic, though it takes different forms — prose passages in this first volume, poems and philosophies in other volumes. It's the product of the temperament I've been blessed or cursed with — I'm not sure which. All I know is that the author of these lines (I'm not sure if also of these books) has never had just one personality, and has never thought or felt dramatically — that is, through invented persons, or personalities, who are more capable than he of feeling what's to be felt. There are authors who write plays and novels, and they often endow the characters of their plays and novels with feelings and ideas that they insist are not their own. Here the substance is the same, though the form is different."
