    In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    Love and forgetting might have carried them
    A little further up the mountainside
    With night so near, but not much further up.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
