"I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance."-E.S

I am an unpopular electric eel in a pool of catfish.
-Edith Sitwell, Life magazine, 01-04-63

I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.
-Edith Sitwell

Rules:
-write about whatever you get out the quotes; or any quotes of hers.
-Put the quote in your author's notes.
-I'm sorry, I'm biased. No rhyme.
-""No haiku, or weird form poetry. Because nine times out of ten, people focus more on the form, than the actual words being typed.
-Specify if you want an honest critique or no comment at all. If you do not specify, I will assume you did not read this, and therefore, will not be considered in the decision-making-thing.

-and remember:

"Poetry is the deification of reality."
-Edith Sitwell.

    I guess everyone has ADD, and couldn't read all the rules that were over a sentence long. Especially the last one, but oh well.
