P.M.

I made the statement: “I never tire so long as I am interested.” I now eat crow! I was tired to-day—all day; I felt wobbly in my back because of climbing up and down from tables & chairs and pulling chairs up after me. Yet I know I am interested in painting that wall. I go back to my stage days. One stands before an audience, alert, animated, because one is interested in doing the thing, when off the set one collapses in the arms of a helper or physician, or curls up in a knot on a nearby trunk, insensible to everything & everybody, till across the brain flashes the cue. Yet the interest is there.
