It shrinks my liver, doesn’t it, Nat? It pickles my kidneys, yeah. But what it does to the mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly I’m above the ordinary. I’m competent. I’m walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I’m one of the great ones. I’m Michelangelo, molding the beard of Moses. I’m Van Gogh painting pure sunlight. I’m Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto. I’m John Barrymore before movies got him by the throat. I’m Jesse James and his two brothers, all three of them. I’m W. Shakespeare. And out there it’s not Third Avenue any longer, it’s the Nile. Nat, it’s the Nile and down it moves the barge of Cleopatra. ---

Incidentally, “kill” is the word. It’s not “waste.” If I had wanted “waste” I would have written “thou shalt not waste.” You’re doing some very funny things with words. You’re also turning the sky into mud. I look down, I can’t believe the filth. Using the rivers for toilets, poisoning my fishes. You want a miracle? _You_ make a fish from scratch. ---
