An Artist
"What does it mean "to write well"?
An artist--using the word in its genuine rather than childish meaning-is not a craftsman who knows how to evenly distribute "lively images", "telling details of everyday life", "colorful landscapes", and other trifles in his books; an artist is the one who finds a rhythm unknown before, and enlives and permeates the world he has created by this rhythm."

Grandpa's Ol' Hat
I'm not even that sentimental; But I just can't let go of this hat, that doesn't even belong to me. One day, long ago, and not so long ago...my grandpa was wearing this and fishing in Northern Indiana.

You look great in it.
