他是我在哈佛的老师。没穿大衣我们走过院子时对我说冷脆的秋天是你该穿大衣的。我说你没穿大衣。他说:“你应该照我说的做，不要照我做的做。”这是多么美国化，这是多么晚的四十年代，德尔莫尔，但不是我，可能知道。在他纽约的公寓里，他对我引用了芬尼根的守灵诗，坐在他正前方的椅子桌子上。他写了什么?我在想。看看这张关于他父母的照片。康尼岛。 Do they look happy? He couldn't figure it out. Believed Pogo to be at the limits of our culture. Pogo. Walt Kelly must have read Joyce Delmore said. Why don't you ask him? Why don't you ask Walt Kelly if he read Finnegans Wake or not. Your parents don't look happy but it is just a photograph. Maybe they felt awkward posing for photographs. Maybe it is just a bad photograph. Delmore is not listening I want to hear him tell me something sad but however true. Delmore in his tomb is sitting. People say yes everyone is dying But here read this happy book on the subject. Not Delmore. Not that rueful man.
