b
i was the middle child of three，but there was a gap of five years on either side，and i hardly saw my father before i was eight. for this and other reasons i was somewhat lonely. i had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons，and i think from the very start my literary ambitions（文學志向）were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤獨）and undervalued. i knew that i had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts，and i felt that this created a sort of private world in which i could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.
however, the quantity of serious writing which i produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. i wrote my first poem at the age of four or five，my mother taking it down to dictation. i cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had "chair-like teeth”--a good enough expression. at eleven，when the war of 1914-18 broke out, i wrote a poem which was printed in the local（地方的）newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of kitchener. from time to time, when i was a bit older, i wrote bad and usually unfinished "nature poems". i also, about twice，attempted a short story which was a failure. that was the total of the would-be serious work that i actually set down on paper during all those years.
