The cancer of time is eating us away

Henry Miller
Time, Cancer, Eating
Henry Miller, Norman Mailer (1976). “Genius and lust: a journey through the major writings of Henry Miller”, Grove Press

The city grows like a cancer; I must grow like a sun. The city eats deeper and deeper into the red; it is an insatiable white louse which must die eventually of inanition. I am going to starve the white louse which is eating me up. I am going to die as a city in order to become again a man. Therefore I close my ears, my eyes, my mouth.

Henry Miller
Cancer, Eye, Men
Henry Miller (1966). “Tropic of Capricorn”

Henry Miller
Cancer, Hero, Despair
Henry Miller, John Calder (1985). “A Henry Miller reader”, Riverrun Pr
