  Monday, July 30, 2007  Yaddo Bit (Favorite New Quote)  I had
always been aware that the Universe is sad; everything in it,
animate or inanimate, the wild creatures, the stones, the stars,
was enveloped in the great sadness, pervaded by it. Existence
had no use. It was without end or reason. The most beautiful
thing in it, a flower or a song, as well as the most compelling,
a desire or a thought, were pointless. So great a sorrow...Never
then or now have I been able to look at the cloudless sky at
night and see beauty there...  Hayden Carruth  1 comment:

that to all the girls and boys. Loved the train ride back to the
city. JW
