The Adventures of Wesley Jackson 2007 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Man is a lonely creature. In spite of all the company there is for him in the world, he’s lonely. He’s so lonely sometimes he’ll turn away from all the company in the world and take up with the dead - he’ll read the books men who lived long ago wrote. Or he’ll take up with the fields and the sky and the creatures of them, like Thoreau did. Or he’ll turn to some little domestic animal like a dog, or a canary, or a parrot, or a turtle even, or a goldfish, or maybe a big animal like a horse. They say Arabs love their horses more than their wives. Or he’ll take up with plants - in a little garden of his own, or if he has no garden he’ll take up with little plants in pots. But who’s he looking for all the time? He’s looking for somebody to know him. Every letter I ever got had loneliness in it, and eagerness to be in touch with someone who was not a stranger, someone who remembered. William Saroyan |
