Judgment Day ( 1955 )

Note

Even though the author isn't Sally, Literature of the Slighted (viz, The Gospel of Luke, etc) just isn't interesting. Would it have pleased the writer, though to see Paddy Hanrahan interrupt his narrator by "coming into [his] office in rags and pleading for a job"--then kicking his ass? Regardless of intention or autobiography, the writer reminds us that it is mankind's ineluctible duty to relentlessly bully the arrogant intelligentsia until nothing short of acclimation or suicide is achieved, lest Old Lady Ormont blows up the planet.

Much better never to show what you're thinking. As for feeling, it is better not to feel--to view the world with the detachment of a visitor at the zoo.|||The thought of dying does not much affect me. I have never got much fun out of life, and such pleasures as there are have turned sour in recent years. I find myself getting more and more indifferent to everything but physics, and even that is becoming a bore.
