The Fury
by
Now, I know only this for sure—the first half of life is pure selfishness; the second half, all grief.
“What if someone had told me, thirty
years ago: If you give up, now,
wanting to be an artist, he might
love you all your life—what would I
have said? I didn't even have an art,
it would could from out of our family's life—
what could I have said: nothing will stop me.”
