| Quotation | Today, warm, grey, went down early for Mass, took a hot bath in the infirmary and got into secular clothes to go to town for back X-rays. (Hand has been numb for some time.) At the U[niversity] of L[ouisville] library was really moved by parts of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet (they certainly complete and deepen some of the things said about love - and criticized - in the Duino Elegies). |
