In the biog\u00adra\u00adphy of Roald Dahl writ\u00adten by British chil\u00addren\u2019s book author Michael Rosen, *The Great Mr. Dahl*Fan\u00adtas\u00adtic Mr. Dahl<\/em>The open\u00ading sec\u00adtion records a short poem that Dahl held as his life\u00adlong mot\u00adto:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

My can\u00addle burns at both ends;<\/strong>
It will not last the night;<\/strong>
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends \u2013<\/strong>
It gives a love\u00adly light!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

My can\u00addle is burn\u00ading at both ends.<\/strong>
It ulti\u00admate\u00adly would\u00adn\u2019t last until dawn;<\/strong>
But oh, my ene\u00admy, my friend\u2014<\/strong>
It emits such a mes\u00admer\u00adiz\u00ading light!<\/strong>
\u2014Edna Saint Vin\u00adcent Mil\u00adlais (Trans\u00adlat\u00aded by A\u2011Jia)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This short poem, only four lines long, is quite spir\u00adit\u00aded. It first admits: burn\u00ading at both ends like this, the can\u00addle won\u2019t last long. Then it abrupt\u00adly changes its tone: But look how enchant\u00adi\u00adng this light is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems fit\u00adting to place it in front of Dahl\u2019s book. The man who wrote about the choco\u00adlate fac\u00adto\u00adry, the giant peach\u00ades, and the BFG cer\u00adtain\u00adly does\u00adn\u2019t resem\u00adble a prop\u00ader, slow\u00adly burn\u00ading can\u00addle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u00adev\u00ader, trac\u00ading the author\u2019s name leads to an inter\u00adest\u00ading ques\u00adtion: this poem is by an Amer\u00adi\u00adcan female poet with strong fem\u00adi\u00adnist views. Why did Dahl choose it? (Because a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant por\u00adtion of the com\u00adplaints against Dahl con\u00adcerns his \u201canti-fem\u00adi\u00adnist\u201d ten\u00adden\u00adcies!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Listen first, who\u2019s saying \u201cmy candle\u201d?\u201c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mil\u00adlais\u2019s poem, \u201cFirst Fig,\u201d was includ\u00aded in her 1920 poet\u00adry col\u00adlec\u00adtion. A Few Figs from This\u00adtles<\/em>The book could be trans\u00adlat\u00aded as \u201cPick\u00ading Figs from This\u00adtles.\u201d Three years lat\u00ader, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Poet\u00adry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edna St. Vin\u00adcent Mil\u00adlay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This col\u00adlec\u00adtion of poems attract\u00aded atten\u00adtion at the time, large\u00adly due to its bold expres\u00adsion of female desire and autonomous life. The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Acad\u00ade\u00admy of Poets\u2019 author intro\u00adduc\u00adtion also specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly men\u00adtions its fem\u00adi\u00adnist aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, these four lines alone do not men\u00adtion \u201cwoman\u201d nor direct\u00adly dis\u00adcuss gen\u00adder equal\u00adi\u00adty. To under\u00adstand their mean\u00ading, the poem must be placed back into the con\u00adtext of Mil\u00adlais\u2019s work and his era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s note\u00adwor\u00adthy is the word \u201cmy\u201d at the begin\u00adning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My candle\u2014I know how it burns, and I know the price that comes with it. Ene\u00admies may dis\u00adap\u00adprove, friends may wor\u00adry, but the speak\u00ader must still point out to every\u00adone the light it emits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ask a young woman who is expect\u00aded to be docile, restrained, and con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adate of oth\u00aders to say these words, the chal\u00adlenge they car\u00adry is not hard to hear. \u201cHow I choose to live, can I decide for myself?\u201d This is where I see the con\u00adnec\u00adtion between this poem and female auton\u00ado\u00admy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More\u00adover, the poem was\u00adn\u2019t at all bit\u00adter or resent\u00adful. A few excla\u00adma\u00adtions like \u201cBut,\u201d and \u201cOh,\u201d even car\u00adried a touch of play\u00adful\u00adness. She knew per\u00adfect\u00adly well what oth\u00aders would say in their words, yet she smiled and accept\u00aded their response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a voice could cer\u00adtain\u00adly move a male read\u00ader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for where Dahl first read it and why he chose it as his mot\u00adto, the avail\u00adable mate\u00adri\u00adals are insuf\u00adfi\u00adcient to pro\u00advide a defin\u00adi\u00adtive answer. Lik\u00ading a poem by Mil\u00adlais does not prove that he agrees with all of the poet\u00ad\u2019s ideas. What we can do is place these four lines along\u00adside his life and works, and see how they reflect each oth\u00ader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dahl joined the Roy\u00adal Air Force<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even if an experience is legendary enough, someone still needs to turn it into a story.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dahl\u2019s expe\u00adri\u00adence cer\u00adtain\u00adly makes one think of \u201cburn\u00ading at both ends\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1939, he joined the Roy\u00adal Air Force. The fol\u00adlow\u00ading year, his plane made an emer\u00adgency land\u00ading in the North African desert, caught fire, and he was seri\u00adous\u00adly injured. After treat\u00adment and recu\u00adper\u00ada\u00adtion, he returned to the cock\u00adpit and par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00aded in com\u00adbat over Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lat\u00ader, he was assigned to Wash\u00ading\u00adton as an assis\u00adtant air force attach\u00e9, where he also par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00aded in wartime pro\u00adpa\u00adgan\u00adda and intel\u00adli\u00adgence work. If the cam\u00adera were to stop here, it would already resem\u00adble the open\u00ading scene of an adven\u00adture movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inter\u00adests me more is what hap\u00adpened next: how did those expe\u00adri\u00adences become part of his sto\u00adry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a great exam\u00adple in *The Amaz\u00ading Mr. Dahl*. Pilots often blame plane mal\u00adfunc\u00adtions on a mis\u00adchie\u00advous lit\u00adtle crea\u00adture called an \u201cair\u00adplane sprite.\u201d These lit\u00adtle things hide inside the plane and cause trou\u00adble. Dahl heard this, remem\u00adbered it, and talked about it with his com\u00adpan\u00adions as they trav\u00adeled, grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly turn\u00ading it into sto\u00adries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dahl\u2019s \u201cThe Grem\u00adlins\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This detail is much more spe\u00adcif\u00adic than say\u00ading \u201ca genius writer has a rich imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out his imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion did have its sources: a joke from some\u00adone else, a slang term, casu\u00adal con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion dur\u00ading a jour\u00adney. Once it reached him, the sto\u00adry would unfold\u2014Where do these lit\u00adtle elves live? Why do they cause trou\u00adble? Do they have wives and chil\u00addren?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Rosen is a mas\u00adter sto\u00adry\u00adteller him\u00adself, so he knows exact\u00adly where to lead us. While leg\u00adendary expe\u00adri\u00adences are cer\u00adtain\u00adly com\u00adpelling, he also wants young read\u00aders to see how a per\u00adson lis\u00adtens, remem\u00adbers, and trans\u00adforms what they hear into their own sto\u00adry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some light comes from places that are hard to describe.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dahl\u2019s fam\u00adi\u00adly life also suf\u00adfered a series of dev\u00adas\u00adtat\u00ading blows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1960, his four-month-old son, Theo, was in a car acci\u00addent and suf\u00adfered a severe head injury, lat\u00ader devel\u00adop\u00ading hydro\u00adcephalus. Dahl par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00aded in his son\u2019s treat\u00adment, col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adrat\u00ading with engi\u00adneer Stan\u00adley Wade and neu\u00adro\u00adsur\u00adgeon Ken\u00adneth Thiel to devel\u00adop a drainage device. It lat\u00ader became known as the \u201cWade-Dal-Thill valve\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dahl\u2019s \u201cWade-Dahl-Till Valve\u201d\u201c<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the book, Rosen men\u00adtions a detail that is eas\u00adi\u00adly over\u00adlooked: when the device was made, Theo\u2019s con\u00addi\u00adtion had already improved, and he did not need it; but lat\u00ader, thou\u00adsands of oth\u00ader sick chil\u00addren received help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A father, eager to do some\u00adthing for his own child, end\u00aded up help\u00ading some\u00adone else\u2019s child. This turn\u00ading point is pow\u00ader\u00adful enough; there\u2019s no need to glo\u00adri\u00adfy him as an omnipo\u00adtent hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1962, his sev\u00aden-year-old daugh\u00adter Olivia died from com\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adtions of measles. This time, Dahl could not save her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to con\u00adnect this to the phrase, \u201cSo he turned his grief into strength.\u201d Rosen writes that Dahl had long suf\u00adfered from depres\u00adsion. He tried to under\u00adstand the cir\u00adcum\u00adstances of his daugh\u00adter\u2019s death and lat\u00ader spoke out for the cause of measles vac\u00adci\u00adna\u00adtion for chil\u00addren. But these actions did not mean that the grief was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read\u00ading this, you\u2019ll bet\u00adter under\u00adstand why I appre\u00adci\u00adate Rosen writ\u00ading this biog\u00adra\u00adphy. The author of *The Book of Grief* also expe\u00adri\u00adenced the pain of los\u00ading a child. In writ\u00ading about Dahl, he describes the shared grief, anger, and con\u00adfu\u00adsion they faced. The biog\u00adra\u00adphy paus\u00ades here, show\u00ading us that even some\u00adone who could write mag\u00adic had moments of help\u00adless\u00adness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years lat\u00ader, when his wife Patri\u00adcia Neal fell seri\u00adous\u00adly ill, Dahl devot\u00aded him\u00adself to her reha\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion. He arranged very rig\u00ador\u00adous train\u00ading, and Neal even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly returned to the enter\u00adtain\u00adment indus\u00adtry. But to sim\u00adply por\u00adtray this expe\u00adri\u00adence as a \u201cmir\u00ada\u00adcle by a strong hus\u00adband\u201d would obscure Neal\u2019s own ardu\u00adous efforts and the com\u00adplex feel\u00adings with\u00adin the rela\u00adtion\u00adship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biogra\u00adphies writ\u00adten for chil\u00addren and biogra\u00adphies aimed at adults that delve into mar\u00adriage and char\u00adac\u00adter each have their own pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adties. When read\u00ading Dahl, I am will\u00ading to con\u00adsid\u00ader these dif\u00adfer\u00adent nar\u00adra\u00adtives togeth\u00ader. The word \u201cremark\u00adable\u201d can encom\u00adpass admi\u00adra\u00adtion, but it should also allow for fur\u00adther inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dahl in writ\u00ading<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even someone burning at both ends has to sit down and revise their manuscript.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hav\u00ading recount\u00aded these ups and downs, return\u00ading to the writ\u00ading hut in the gar\u00adden feels all the more inter\u00adest\u00ading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pen\u00adcil, a yel\u00adlow notepad, and a chair mod\u00adi\u00adfied to accom\u00admo\u00addate his injured back. Dahl sat there, writ\u00ading sto\u00adries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based sole\u00adly on the phrase \u201cburn\u00ading at both ends,\u201d we might imag\u00adine him work\u00ading day and night, unable to stop once inspi\u00adra\u00adtion strikes. How\u00adev\u00ader, Rosen\u2019s dai\u00adly life, as depict\u00aded, fol\u00adlows a rather fixed rhythm: Dahl writes dur\u00ading his usu\u00adal hours and spends the rest of his time doing oth\u00ader things and find\u00ading enjoy\u00adment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also kept a note\u00adbook to catch those ideas that he might for\u00adget in the blink of an eye. A strange scene, an inter\u00adest\u00ading say\u00ading, he would jot it down first; when he did\u00adn\u2019t know what to write, he would flip through it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I men\u00adtioned in the trans\u00adla\u00adtor\u2019s after\u00adword, what I find most hard to let go of in this book is Rosenken\u2019s mas\u00adter\u00adful sto\u00adry\u00adtelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Rosen him\u00adself also has an auto\u00adbi\u00adog\u00adra\u00adphy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He will lead read\u00aders to pon\u00adder: how Dahl exag\u00adger\u00adates, how he whets the appetite, and how he makes us stand on the side of the bul\u00adlied child. Read\u00ading *James and the Giant Peach*, why do we so eager\u00adly await James escap\u00ading those two hor\u00adri\u00adble aunts? Read\u00ading *Matil\u00adda*, why do we feel both afraid of the head\u00admas\u00adter and unable to resist laugh\u00ading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, I was engrossed in read\u00ading these books, and as an adult, revis\u00adit\u00ading them to see how the authors achieved this still brings just as much enjoy\u00adment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For chil\u00addren already cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00aded by Dahl, this book allows them to dis\u00adcov\u00ader new things with\u00adin famil\u00adiar sto\u00adries; for adults read\u00ading with their chil\u00addren, it pro\u00advides a great start\u00ading point for con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion. There\u2019s no need to rush into dis\u00adcussing \u201cwrit\u00ading tech\u00adniques\u201d; sim\u00adply ask each oth\u00ader: Why does this pas\u00adsage par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly make you want to con\u00adtin\u00adue read\u00ading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go back to that little bit of light.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dahl also brings sto\u00adries from the page into real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not con\u00adtent with telling his grand\u00addaugh\u00adter the sto\u00adry of the kind-heart\u00aded giant, he actu\u00adal\u00adly climbed a lad\u00adder and peered into the upstairs bed\u00adroom window\u2014to let the child lis\u00adten\u00ading to the sto\u00adry meet her own \u201cgiant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosen wrote about this in his book and asked young read\u00aders to imag\u00adine: How would you feel if you were lying in bed on the sec\u00adond floor and your grand\u00adfa\u00adther sud\u00adden\u00adly peeked in through the win\u00addow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this scene. The tall Dahl, climb\u00ading a lad\u00adder, is dili\u00adgent\u00adly work\u00ading on a sto\u00adry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reread\u00ading Mil\u00adlais\u2019s poet\u00adry, I think Dahl might appre\u00adci\u00adate its rest\u00adless spir\u00adit and play\u00adful nature, its ten\u00adden\u00adcy to quip off to both friends and ene\u00admies. Of course, this remains a read\u00ader\u2019s spec\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion. That can\u00addle can\u00adnot explain his entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s per\u00adfect to place it at the begin\u00adning of the book, remind\u00ading us to read on with curios\u00adi\u00adty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you and your chil\u00addren have already explored the world of the choco\u00adlate fac\u00adto\u00adry, the giant peach, or Matil\u00adda\u2019s world, why not pick up *The Fan\u00adtas\u00adtic Mr. Dahl* again? This time, let \u201cNICE Grand\u00adpa\u201d Michael Rosen guide you through how those cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading sto\u00adries came to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After read\u00ading this, you might want to take out an idea book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just jot down this thought for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
