Edith Sitwell

Hot water is my native element. I was in it as a baby, and I have never seemed to get out of it ever since.

I am an unpopular electric eel in a pool of catfish.

Still falls the rain - dark as the world of man, black as our loss - blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.

If I am incompetent, I am useless, the people of India will see that.

The government has once again made the right socially acceptable.

My first instrument was the piano; I played in the church, and before that I sang in church. I didn't learn the guitar until I was 24 years old.
