He was staying too long in the Hallway
looking at the pictures. All done by others.
Very beautiful and strong, but all done by others.
He’d have to start now doing things for himself.
Create things out of his own life.
He’d begin to make pictures himself;
ay, pictures, too, that would be worth
hanging in the Hallway
for other people to see.
~ Sean O’Casey

autobiography, Pictures in the Hallway)
