Well, this is kind of interesting.

WILLIAM MORRIS, the poet and pioneer of the British Arts and Crafts movement, is best remembered for his dictum “Have nothing in your houses you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”.

To this he might have added: “And nothing that will not withstand violent fits of rage.” A new biography of the Pre-Raphaelite designer suggests that Morris’s obsession with sturdy medieval furniture was inspired by his frequent red mists, during which he would hurl books at his friends and kick the panels out of doors.

I do that stuff all the time, at least until the police made me promise not to...does that qualify me as a repressed artist?
