And when I cannot transcend myself and thus find some beauty to bring to these thoughts and words, I shall know comfort in the mundane fact that your simplest act of breathing or movement shall exceed them entire, and for my every elaborated impoverishment, you shall, without the slightest effort or concern, give ample answer in your glance, your smile, the movements of your hand. Or by the kindness with which you gaze upon the old man, the ecstatic child, the one whose body is unexpected or ravaged by injury. But even as your fingers will but fumble in the shadows of some pocket for coins to grant a beggar — you have exceeded my whole oeuvre, for to be is the birth of to say, and to say is at best the feather’s ghost… while to be is the flight and whole purpose divine.
