| Willa Cather
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact. I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having livedMost of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen. Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything. Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers. Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves. The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world. |
