For me, th...Thank you, Mrs. Salter (Kay Eldridge).<br /><br />For me, the act of writing is largely spontaneous. I ponder, have an idea, try to clarify it by writing. It's very satisfying. <br /><br />And it is also permanent in the books I write and for a while whatever I write on the Web. The books are in a few libraries and that also pleases me. So when I'm gone, the books are still there. Nice to think of that.<br /><br />And both them and I will be remembered for a while and in due course both will be forgotten. And it will be as if I never existed, which isn't the least bit important.<br /><br />So it goes.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, LindaRichard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-4965038609052219802018-01-15T13:32:52.525-10:002018-01-15T13:32:52.525-10:00We owe a debt to Salter's wife!
I especially ...We owe a debt to Salter's wife!<br /><br />I especially like Salter's comments on writing. Most of all: "only those things preserved in writing have any possibility of being real." That seems to me to be so true, but I don't quite know why. Perhaps because we are linguistic beings. I read somewhere that language is not one of man's possessions in the world, but on it depends the fact that man has a world at all. I think that must be what Salter understood. It must be what compels some of us to write. <br /><br />Lindahttps://commonplacefortheuncommon.com/noreply@blogger.com
