ABSTRACT
Most normal human beings experience the need for self-expression, some in a greater degree, some in a less. The means by which they seek to achieve this end vary enormously. Those who enjoy some one thoroughly satisfactory form are often content to seek no other. Great opera singers wander from city to city, living in hotel suites, associating with hosts of strangers, and dispensing almost wholly with everything intimate in their material surroundings; they are able to endure this life because their ego finds complete expression in their art. In a lesser degree the same thing will be found true of most of those who have some exceptional artistic or literary talent.
