But Chuck, who hates to think, can still believe he's acting as if
he has any method.  Thus, any introduction of actual method will
destroy the performance.
  Chuck, you see, expresses his *feelings* /directly to the page/.
Since you have no *feelings*, you can neither do this nor pretend to
do this, since whatever you put on the page will have no *feelings*.
  It's a *Gift*, you see, so you'll never /acquire/ it as long as
you live.
