centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally
I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be
considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking
for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t
drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue
to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been
doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance
company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself
being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about
that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a
long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other
candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after
about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a
psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The
interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat
opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or
shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some
of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that
lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?”
“Why did you leave your job before that?”
“And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at
first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought,
revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist,
he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the
psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I
thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible
awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still
far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
