Seeing this passage, I was shocked... This guy is amazing, isn't he? , brainwashing yourself so thoroughly [white eyes]

Because Hayward never sees the world with his own eyes, always sees everything through the halo of literature. And the danger is that he has deceived himself to the point of sincerity. He genuinely regards his carnal desires as romantic feelings, indecisiveness as artistic temperament, and idleness as transcendent. He was bent on improving his thoughts, but he only became more vulgar. Everything was slightly larger than it really was in his eyes, and the outlines were blurred, separated by a layer of sentimental golden fog. He never knew he was lying when he lied, and if someone broke it, he said the lie was beautiful. He was an idealist.
