trait that creative geniuses often share

[rayheinrich]

SunRay,
All "creative geniuses" have been bitten by a flea at least once.

Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, John Berryman, Hart Crane, Mark Rothko,
Diane Arbus, Anne Sexton, and Arshile Gorky were never bitten by fleas.
All were creative geniuses. People never bitten by a flea, besides being creative geniuses,
kill themselves.

This inevitably leads to the conclusion that the decision to sleep with a dog is a grave one.*


*Un-empirical is a state of mind. While large research grants aren't necessarily a remedy, they can provide a source of great comfort.
