The excursions that I make are just like children’s games: if you lose, you don’t get punished and if you win, it’s like a party. And even though it makes little or no money, it still doesn’t do any harm. On the contrary, you don’t have to bother with major production costs or poor ticket sales. In the world of cinema money is all that matters.
“On barren days,
At hours when I, apart, have
Bent low in thought of the great charm thou hast,
Behold with music’s many-stringed charms
The silence groweth thou. O rare delight!
The melody upon clear strings inflected
Were dull when o’er taut sense thy presence floweth,
With quivering notes’ accord that never palleth.”
Ezra Pound | “Canzon: Of Incense”
