“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

GLEANINGS V
FROM THE JOURNALS OF DENTON WELCH
"Then in the morning I was feverish, and the next day I was sick very often."
"I was empty inside even before I began being sick...."
(October, 1945)

"What has happened to my heart tonight? It could eat up all the world."
"Sweeps of piercing sadness came over me I was lost in the dark world, in the lighted streets alone, waiting to die..."
"When I go back into formless days, feel stifles withy my lack of ability, feel that everything is smeared and smudged, I have the vision of true madness."
(October 1945)
"I have brought nothing to this book of all the days that have melted away."
