Three great works fill the remainder of his life
Three works often interuppted,
carried on through a thousand hesitations,
A thousand disappointments,
Quarrels with his patrons,
Quarrels with his family,
Quarrels perhaps most of all
with himselfโ
Excerpt from Three works often interuppted,
carried on through a thousand hesitations,
A thousand disappointments,
Quarrels with his patrons,
Quarrels with his family,
Quarrels perhaps most of all
with himselfโ
