What a tragic and intense life he lead. I like especially "trace under the common things the hidden grace, and conjure wonder out of emptiness."<br /><br />I also looked up the violet hour, found a restaurant, a play, and Bernard DeVoto. You do know some unusual literary folks, Robin. I dont think I've ever heard of DeVoto but the quote you give is quite lovely. But his book, The Hour, is about drinking !!!! Although i am sure also much more. I got a chuckle, as more or less a non-drinker. Thanks for the introduction to these two.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805249651108734322.post-41473277418955984932010-05-05T12:20:50.031-07:002010-05-05T12:20:50.031-07:00The sadness of recognition about all the words we ...The sadness of recognition about all the words we leave behind...what if? continues to be the imponderable question for which there never will be a true and satisfying answer. So lets make sure we say what we must while we still have the voice, both in sound and spirit, that we may never have to wake up to find what is important dead.<br /><br />This is both utterly sad and yet extraordinarily beautiful.
