| Quotation | Even in the woods you cannot have quiet unless you determine not to have a shadow anymore and not to cast any. How? So many lovely things in "A" 18, I could see Chagall coming long before he appeared, announced pages ahead by Chagall fiddles, etc. And also Prepositions. It finally reached me and I went to the Chaplin bit like iron filings to the magnet, remembering everything perfectly. But I have read it all, I do not get carried away by it like by the "A's." |
