John Berryman - Dream Song 133: As he grew famous—ah, but what is fame?John Berryman - Dream Song 133: As he grew famous—ah, but what is fame?
Work rating: Low


As he grew famous—ah, but what is fame?— he lost his old obsession with his name, things seemed to matter less, including the fame—a television team came from another country to make a film of him which did not him distress: he enjoyed the hard work & he was good at that, so they all said—the charming Englishman among the camera & the lights mathematically wandered in his pub & livingroom doing their duty, as too he did it, but where are the delights of long-for fame, unless fame makes him feel easy? I am cold & weary, said Henry, fame makes me feel lazy, yet i must do my best. It doesn`t matter, truly. It doesn`t matter truly. It seems to be solely a matter of continuing Henry voicing & obsessed.
