Quotation

Despondency breaks off its course. Anguish breaks off its course. The vulture breaks off its flight. The eager light streams out. Even the ghosts take a draft. And our paintings see daylight, our red beasts of the ice age studios. Everything begins to look around. We walk in the sun in hundreds. Each man is a half-open door, leading to a room for everyone. The endless ground under us. The water is shining among the trees. The lake is a window into the earth. === You and I both do similar things, Kurt.

My life doesn't join up. I can't remember. -Someone else will remember. Someone will remember for you.
