It was my sensual excessiveness that jarred him (Jasper Johns, fh). He was always an intellectual. He read a lot, he wrote poetry – he would read Hart Crane’s poems to me, which I loved but didn’t have the patience to read myself – and he was often critical of things like my grammar. But you don’t let a thing like that bother you if you have only two or three real friends.

Over the hills where spices grow.

The only current happiness is indifference, the only current feelings are the very small ones, the only current thoughts are smaller still. The only beautiful things are small feelings.
