Two Into One


"At any given time, I have two things on my mind: a theme that interests me and a problem of verbal form, meter, diction, etc. The theme looks for the right form; the form looks for the right theme. When the two come together, I am able to start writing."

W.H. Auden

  1. Yes, I understand this. "Red" and "Abstract" or "Green" and "Sky".

    I enjoy reading a writer's journey, Beth. Yours is stunningly beautiful.

  2. Kris, thank you. Always I discover in other writers some hint of something I almost knew, couldn't precipitate into language yet.

    And then these writers give new meaning to the images my camera finds.

    Thank you for being there.
