That Infamous Myth
I was once in thrall to the infamous myth
Of the
artiste souffrant
,
But I’ve come ultimately to see it
As the cruelest of delusions.
But could it not be said
That it’s still among us,
That malefic notion
That the artist is a spirit set apart,
For some special purpose
Of which pain is an essential component?
"That Infamous Myth" stems from a far longer piece; although it's long distanced itself from whatever roots it might once have had.
