Excerpt from What Clever Friends: The Selected Letters Between Jane Kenyon and Alice Mattison
ALICE MATTISON
It may be that you are writing well and, being in depression, can’t tell. It may be that people in depression cannot write well, just as people with sore throats cannot go to the party, but I don’t see that that gives you the right to close up shop, as long as you can sit still.

“A downpouring of immense darkness began . . . There was scarcely anything left of body or mind by which one could say, “This is he” or “This is she.” —Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse”

“When a relationship deepend, it feels like the melting of a stream. Wider, more fluid, sounding of happy birbles. Our life together has an openness and receptivity absent from the middle years. We laugh more readily at our foibles; we don't hesitate to ask each other for help.”

“Convalescence is learning to become kin not only with uncertainty but also with boredom, the frustration of non-doing”
