★(949) 何かやる気なら最後までやり通せ、最高の気分が味わえる、神の祝福を感じるだろう・・If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods.

Charles Bukowski(ブコワスキー)さんの詩。
ビデオには2作の詩が収録されているが、下記のスクリプトは後半の方。
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
飲んだくれで放浪というパターンは、芸術家や作家さんには多い。
そして、なぜだか、女にもてる傾向がある。
やや狂気な雰囲気が漂うところが魅力である。
目標を持ったら、周囲の人間を失ってでもやり通せ、投獄されてもやり通せ、それが神を感る最高の至福だ、という話ですが、平均的なボクらは、そこまではやれないと思う。
「You will be alone with the gods」は、「神々とともにひとりになる」と書かれているが、神に祝福されることか。
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods.
