He was certainly one of those artists who inspired countless readers to face life with honesty and courage. By way of remembering him, we offer the following by Kenneth Patchen: 'O NOW THE DRENCHED LAND WAKES O now the drenched land wakes;
Birds from their sleep call
Fitfully, and are still.
Clouds like milky wounds
Float across the moon. O love, none may
Turn away long
From this white grove
Where all nouns grieve. | |
