More From Kate Millett

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. we reach then into reality. such are the moments of our greatest happiness. such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. it is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.

Some days felt longer than other days. some days felt like two whole days. unfortunately those days were never weekend days. our saturdays and sundays passed in half the time of a normal workday. in other words, some weeks it felt like we worked ten straight days and had only one day off.
Sunday Weekend Two
I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. such are the moments of our greatest happiness. such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.
Usual Moments Clairvoyant
Ordinary life does not interest me. i seek only the high moments. i am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. i want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; i want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension. but i am not always in what i call a state of grace. i have days of illuminations and fevers. i have days when the music in my head stops. then i mend socks, prune trees, can fruits, polish furniture. but while i am doing this i feel i am not living.

Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.
Prayer Illumination Inward
... the life of the mind is reality, and love without romantic illumination is a spiritless matter.
Reality Illumination Mind
But sometimes illumination comes to our rescue at the very moment when all seems lost; we have knocked at every door and they open on nothing until, at last, we stumble unconsciously against the only one through which we can enter the kingdom we have sought in vain a hundred years - and it opens.
