. . . a poet & painter easily understands how you feel about leaving any beloved place--he's always putting huge pieces
of myself into whens & people & wheres & animals & trees & stones. For human creatures(& I hope we're human!)"things" equal illusion;actually,nothing's inanimate.
--E. E. Cummings in a letter to Gabrielle David, September 5, 1949
