Dear Friend,
Your letter affected me both unpleasantly and pleasantly (you see, I always move in dialectical contradictions).
Karl Marx in a letter to Ludwig Kugelmann dated March 17, 1868
“Remembering little things the way you can’t not remember some larger ones — now that’s confusing, the way I put it. Animal smell of the sun on the earth at the exposed root of an outstanding sweet white oak that now belonged to us; or on the other hand my mother and father’s parallel love of life, I suppose.”
Joseph McElroy | “Character”
