City people try to buy time as a rule, when they can, whereas country people are prepared to kill time, although both try to cherish in their mind's eye the notion of a better life ahead. In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. Like a kick in the butt, the force of events wakes slumberous talents. Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run. Men often compete with one another until the day they die; comradeship consists of rubbing shoulders jocularly with a competitor. There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer. True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow. |
