But
after all that is me
Riddled with self doubt
But
blown into action in a second
Not
clam and centred
But
bored then blazing
No
happy medium here
Just
blistering barnacles by nature
Here’s
a sympathetic quote on the theme
“I have never known anyone worth a damn who wasn't
irascible.”
Ezra Pound
Or
a nicer way to look at it
“It was not that she was out of temper, but that the world
was not equal to the demands of her fine organism.”
George Eliot
But
I suspect this is closer to the truth of it!
“When you're in the right, you can afford
to keep your temper. When in the wrong, you can't afford to lose it.”
