One Eye Squinted
“I am making out fine in spite of any conflicting stories,” she wrote to Robert Lowell.“If I have enough energy to write with and as that is all I have any business doing anyhow, I can with one eye squinted take it all as a blessing.
“What you have to measure out, you come to observe more closely, or so I tell myself.”
1953 Letter to Lowell and his wife

I know that photographer, and he’s good
@MNJL59 - We are quite proud that he’s working here in Georgia and enjoying his company a lot. Did he tell you about the birthday dinner party?
In addition, I understand that he used some of my DD#3′s vocal talent in one of his recent videos. What a team!!
