1
Dear Eva, April 14th, Almost a month since you wrote to me and you have possibly forgotten your state of mind.
2
I doubt it, though.
3
It seems the same as always, and being you hate every minute of it.
4
Don't.
5
Learn to say fuck you to the world every once in a while.
6
You have every right to.
7
Just stop thinking worrying looking over your shoulder wondering doubting fearing hurting
8
Hoping for some easy way out struggling grasping confusing itching scratching mumbling bumbling grumbling humbling stumbling numbling,
9
rambling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning,
10
honing, boning, horse shitting, hair splitting, nitpicking, piss trickling, nose sticking,
11
ass gouging, eyeball poking, finger pointing, alleyway sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil eyeing, back scratching, searching,
12
perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself.
13
Stop it and just do!
14
From your description, from what I know of your previous work and your ability,
15
the work you were doing sounds very good.
16
Drawing, clean, clear, but crazy like machines, larger and bolder, real nonsense.
17
That sounds fine, wonderful.
18
Real nonsense. Do more.
19
nonsensical, more crazy, more machines, more breasts, penises, cunts, whatever.
20
Make them abound with nonsense.
21
Try and tickle something inside you, your weird humor.
22
You belong in the most secret part of you.
23
Don't worry about cool.
24
Make your own uncool.
25
Make your own.
26
Make your own world.
27
If you fear, make it work for you.
28
Draw and paint your fear and anxiety and stop worrying about big,
29
deep things such as to decide on a purpose and way of life, a consistent approach to even some impossible end or even an unimagined end.
30
You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty.
31
Then you will be able to do.
32
I have much confidence in you, and even though you are tormenting yourself, the work you do is very good.
33
Try to do something bad.
34
Try to do some bad work.
35
The worst thing you could think of is to see what happens, but mainly relax and let everything go to hell.
36
You are not responsible for the world.
37
You're only responsible for your work, so just do it.
38
And don't think that your work has to conform to any preconceived idea, form, or flavor.
39
It can be anything you want it to be.
40
But if life would be easier for you if you stopped working, then stop.
41
Don't punish yourself.
42
However, I think that this is so deeply ingrained in you that it would be better for you to do.
43
It seems I do understand your attitude somewhat anyway, because I go through a similar process every now and again myself.
44
I have an agonizing reappraisal of my work
45
and change everything as much as possible and hate everything I've done and try to do something entirely different and better.
46
Maybe that kind of process is necessary to me, pushing me on and on.
47
Well, the feeling that I could do better than that shit I just did.
48
Maybe you need your agony to accomplish what you do, and maybe it goads you on to do better, but it's very painful, I know.
49
It would be better if you had the confidence just to do the stuff and not even think about it.
50
Can't you leave the world and art alone?
51
Also, quit fondling your ego.
52
I know that you or anyone can only work so much, and the rest of the time you are left with your thoughts.
53
But when you work, or before you work, you have to empty your mind and concentrate on what you are doing.
54
After you do something, it is done, and that's that.
55
After a while, you can see some better than others, but also you can see what direction you're going.
56
I'm sure you know all that.
57
You also must know that you don't have to justify your work, not even to yourself.
58
Well, you know I admire your work greatly
59
and can understand why you are so bothered by it
60
but you can see the next ones
61
and I can't you also must believe in your ability I think you do
62
so try the most outrageous things you can shock yourself you have at your power the ability to do anything
63
I'd like to see your work and we'll have to be content to wait until August.
64
I've seen photos of some of Tom's new things at Lucy's.
65
They're very impressive, especially the ones with more rigorous form, the simpler ones.
66
I guess he'll send some more later on.
67
Let me know how the shows are going and that kind of stuff.
68
My work has changed since you left and it's much better.
69
I will be having a show May 4th to 29th at Daniel's Gallery, 70th East and 64th Street, where Emmerich was.
70
I wish you could be there.
71
Much love to you both.
72
Saul.
73
Thank you.

- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als grind, abound, besmirch.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
