ever known someone with a split-personality? think carefully, some of them are skilled at hiding their condition. the story is, it came from a nightmare rls was awakened from, and then he hastened to write down what he could remember. unlike Coleridge, with his kubla khan, rls was able to finish the beginning of a great work of art. the movies have been horrible (spencer tracy was in one of them, Barrymore in another). go to the original source for genuine horror that teaches about human nature. "I must have stared upon it for nearly half a minute, sunk as I was in the mere stupidity of wonder, before terror woke up in my breast as startling as the crash of cymbals, and bounding from my bed, I rushed to the mirror. at the sight that met my eyes, my blood was changed into something exquisitely thin and icy. yes, I had gone to bed henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde. how was this to be explained? I asked myself, and then, with another bound of terror--how was it to be remedied?" "whereas, in the beginning, the difficulty had been to throw off the body of Jekyll, it had of late gradually but decidedly transferred itself to the other side. all things therefore seemed to point to this: that I was slowly losing hold of my original and better self, and becoming slowly incorporated with my second and worse." isn't that wonderful? the whole work is that wonderful. highly recommended, by me, 'doNOTsextrafficWAstate'.
