"I have no wish at all

to be a "great" writer,

let alone a "great" man.

It would just embarrass

me to betray a false

position. I want to go

in nightgown and

underwear and be known

as a scandler-writer, that

wouldn't embarrass me."

August Strindberg

Erin Bradley, Eun-Ha Paek & James Bewley created this great site. They created Helium to help lighten it up a little because Strindberg is so dark. Really? Check it out.
