Scorpio
One of the disadvantages of almost universal education was the fact that all kinds of persons acquired a familiarity with one's favourite writers. It gave one a curious feeling; it was like seeing a drunken stranger wrapped in one's dressing gown.

Sometimes you know what you need to do before you can explain why you need to do it. The answer shows up first, sitting there like a fact you cannot argue with, while the reasoning takes weeks to catch up. You find yourself making small moves toward something you have not named yet, adjustments that feel right in a way you cannot defend. The question that would make sense of all this is still forming, but the knowing has already done its work. What feels like confusion is actually the gap between what you understand and what you can say.
