Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”

—Janet Frame (b. 1924)

“When I lie down to love,
old dwarf heart shakes her head.
Like an imbecile she was born old.”

—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
