Nobody worth a damn could ever come from such a place. It was nothing, like most places and people are nothing. - James Dickey

That’s all anybody has got. It depends on how strong your fantasy is, and whether you really — really — in your own mind, fit into your own fantasy, whether you measure up to what you’ve fantasized. I don’t know what yours is, but I’ll bet you don’t come up to it.

I saw for a blazing moment
The great grassy world from both sides,
Man and beast in the round of their need.

I have just come down from my father.
Higher and higher he lies
Above me in a blue light
Shed by a tinted window.
