18,871. MARY CANTWELL

MARY CANTWELL
Mary Cantwell's been dead a long
time now. But she was a wonderful
person. I always enjoyed her books.
It was as if a gifted speaker was writing
to me. There's a difference, yes, but
not much to be : speaking, writing,
it all flows from the same sea. You've
either tapped the wellspring or you
haven't. I look now, at some of the 
numbers and addresses and places 
she wrote of, and I think my heart
wants to break.
