I like old men

“The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight is the battle to be just you.”

SEPTEMBER 29, 1950 Dear Mummy, The most utterly divine thing has happened to me. I was standing innocently in the parlor, having coffee after supper, when a senior said, sotto voce, in my ear, “I have a man all picked out for you.” I just stood there with that “Who, me?” expression, and she proceeded to explain. Seems she met this young guy who lives in Mass, but went to Culver Military Academy. He is a freshman at Amherst this year, tall, cute and— get this—HE WRITES POETRY. I just sat there burbling inarticulately into my coffee. She said he should be around in a few weeks. God, am I thrilled. The hope, even, of getting to know a sensitive guy who isn’t a roughneck makes the whole world swim in pink mist.

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

Reveal to me everything you find ugly about yourself, so I can reveal to you everything I find beautiful about you.
