The Bulgarian/Parisian formalist/structuralist critic Tzvetan Todorov,* mentioned earlier, draws a less philosophical but equally interesting parallel between the formal structure of stories within stories, which he calls “embedded stories,” and that of a certain syntactic form, “a particular case of subordination, which in fact modern linguistics calls embedding.” He illustrates the parallel with a wonderful sentence in German:
* In the essay “Narrative-men,” in The Poetics of Prose, tr. Richard Howard (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1977).
Derjenige, der den Mann, der den Pfahl, der auf der Brücke, der auf dem Weg, der nach Worms fuhrt, liegt, steht, umgeworfen hat, anzeigt, bekommt eine Belohnung.
Richard Howard’s translation of this sentence seems to me to miss Todorov’s point

Now, as a working writer who cut his literary teeth on Eliot, Joyce, Kafka, and the other great modernists, and who is currently branded as a postmodernist, and who in fact has certain notions, no doubt naïve, about what that term might conceivably mean if it is to describe anything very good very well, I am grateful to the likes of Professor Graff for not regarding his categories as self-defining. It is quite one thing to compare a line of Verdi or Tennyson or Tolstoy with a line of Stravinsky or Eliot or Joyce and to recognize that you have put the nineteenth century behind you:

TO see the golden sun and the azure sky, the outstretched ocean, to walk upon the green earth , and to be a lord of a thousand creatures to look down giddy precipices or over distant flowery vales, to see the world spread out under one’s finger in a map, to bring the stars near, to view the smallest insects in a microscope, to read history and witness the revolutions of empirees and the succession of generations ,to hear the gloryof Sidon and Tyre of Babylon and Susa,as of a fade pegeant,anf ti say all these wereand are now nothing. to think that we exist in such a point of time, and in such a corner of space,to be at once spectators and a part of the moving scene to watch the return of the seasons, of spring and autumn, to hear—
The stock dove plain amid the forest deep,
That drowsy rustles to the sighing gale.
—to traverse desert wildness, to listen to thedungeon’s gloom,or sit in crowded theatres and see life itself mocked, to feel heat and cold,pleasure and pain right and wrong,truth and falsehood, to study the works of art and refine the sense of beauty to agony, to worship fame and to dream ofimmortality, to have read Shakespeare and Beloit to the same species as Sir isaac Newton to be and to do all this and then in a moment to be nothing to have it all snatched from one like a juggler’s ball or a phantasmagoria…..

Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don’t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you.

Acting – Handling Stardom
Well, here you are. You met with your agent, got the audition, got the part, made your first movie in a lead role, the movie is a huge success and you’re an overnight success. Yes, it’s unlikely, but it does happen. Just look at the cast of “Harry Potter.”
So, you’re a star. What next?
Unfortunately, not everyone can handle stardom. This has been sadly chronicled in the lives of such people as Freddie Prinze who took his life because he just couldn’t handle the pressures of being a big star. So what can you do in order to avoid being a casualty of the movie, TV or stage business?
Everyone has their own theories of how to handle stardom. In this article we’re just going to cover some generic ground as every person is different and ultimately what will work for one person may not work for another. For example, some people will really enjoy all the attention from fans and rag mags that they’re going to get, good or bad. Others will shun it like the plague. But there are some things that seem to be the Achilles heel of most people who have made it big.
For starters, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Once you become a star, everyone is going to want a piece of you for interviews, endorsements, whatever. Budget your time. Do only what you can do. You don’t have to agree to every interview request. Don’t worry that if you turn one down that these people are going to think of you as stuck up or unappreciative. Make them understand that your time is limited and your schedule just doesn’t permit you doing that particular interview at this time but maybe in the future. Always keep the door open. That way you don’t alienate anyone.
The next thing you want to do is not let stardom change your lifestyle beyond what you can afford. Mike Tyson, with all the millions he made boxing, is broke. Learn to live within your bounds. This is not to say that you can’t have nice things. But if you’re only taking in five million a year then you can’t live as if you’re taking in a hundred and five million. It will eventually catch up with you and you could lose everything.
Probably the most important thing you can do as a successful actor is not let it get to your head. In spite of what the fans have told you, you are not the almighty. You are still just a flesh and blood person and as quickly as you became a star, that is how fast it can all come crashing down on you. So many stars who are big one day are gone the next and this dose of reality is too much for them to handle. As a result, their lives are never the same, many taking to drugs and booze. So keep your head about things. Make sure you put your success into perspective.

Happiness affirmations are something that a lot of positive people use to remind themselves that life is good! It’s easy to focus on the things that stress us out or make us mad, but in the moment, where you could allow these things to overcome you, you could instead use free positive affirmations to remind yourself of all of the good things in your life. Happiness affirmations give you the power to make any situation a positive one.
Not sure that happiness affirmations are for you? Many people feel silly using affirmations when they first get started, so don’t think you are alone in that. You don’t have to be obvious about using them to change your life. Instead, you can find free positive affirmations that work well for you or speak to you and you can say them to yourself when you get up in the morning or when you are having a bad day. Other people write them down and put them next to their mirror so they see them each morning or on their desktop wallpaper background on their computer. These simple happiness affirmations may be strange to you when you get started, but after awhile you will have proof that they work and you will likely be a bit more open about it!
