Title, even


Titles in general interested me a lot. At the time I was becoming literary. Words interested me; and the bringing together of words to which I added a comma and ‘even,’ an adverb which makes no sense, since it relates to nothing in the picture or title. Thus it was an adverb in the most beautiful demonstration of adverbness. It has no meaning . . . . In English too, ‘even’ is an absolute adverb; it has no sense. All the more possibility of stripping bare. It’s a ‘non-sense.’
