More From Bernard Malamud

The death agony of the barricade was about to begin.for, since the preceding evening, the two rows of houses in the rue de la chanvrerie had become two walls; ferocious walls, doors closed, windows closed, shutters closed. a house is an escarpment, a door is a refusal, a facade is a wall. this wall hears, sees and will not. it might open and save you. no. this wall is a judge. it gazes at you and condemns you. what dismal things are closed houses.
Wall Doors Agony
No wise man will go to live in the country, unless he has something to do which can be better done in the country. for instance, if he is to shut himself up for a year to study science, it is better to look out to the fields, than to an opposite wall. then, if a man walks out in the country, there is nobody to keep him from walking in again: but if a man walks out in london, he is not sure when he will walk in again. a great city is, to be sure, the school for studying life.
Wise Country Wall
A man or a woman is said to be absorbed when the water has total control of him, and he no control of the water. a swimmer moves around willfully. an absorbed being has no will but the water's going. any word or act is not really personal, but the way the water has of speaking or doing. as when you hear a voice coming out of a wall, and you know that it's not the wall talking, but someone inside, or perhaps someone outside echoing off the wall. saints are like that. they've achieved the condition of a wall, or a door.

Vanish. pass into nothingness: the keats line that frightened her. fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes. go back into the blue. i myself placed her ashes in the wall. i myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six. i know what it is i am now experiencing. i know what the frailty is, i know what the fear is. the fear is not for what is lost. what is lost is already in the wall. what is lost is already behind the locked doors. the fear is for what is still to be lost. you may see nothing still to be lost. yet there is no day in her life on which i do not see her.
Wall Night Blue
What is drawing? how does one get there? it's working one's way through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. how can one get through that wall? - since hammering on it doesn't help at all. in my view, one must undermine the wall and grind through it slowly and patiently.
Wall Iron Drawing
Everyone has doors in the living room of their lives that they assume are locked. doors that lead to artistic expression. people say "i have no talent -- i can't dance or sing or paint or write poetry or play an instrument." more often than not the doors are not locked, just closed. one may turn the handle, open the door and pass through into a larger life space.

You don't get to celebrate yourself unless you risk being mocked or rejected. as an artist, you cannot play it safe. you just can't.
Artist Play Risk
We must have faith during the period of our grief. we think that our afflictions will be greater than we can bear, but we do not know the strength of our own hearts, nor the power of god. he knows all. he knows every folding of the heart and also the extent of the sorrow that he inflicts. what we think will overwhelm us entirely only subdues and conquers our pride. our renewed spirit rises from its subjugation with a celestial strength and consolation.

They want to hold onto something they never had in the first place. anybody who claims to have some interest in me as an individual artist or even as part of the beatles has absolutely misunderstood everything i ever said if they can't see why i'm with yoko. and if they can't see that, they don't see anything. they're just jacking off to - it could be anybody. mick jagger or somebody else. let them go jack off to mick jagger, okay? i don't need it.
Artist Misunderstood Needs
It wasn‟t even desire. it was far more than that. it was love. love. with a capital l and swirly script and hearts and flowers and whatever else the angels— and yes, all those annoying little cupids—wished to use for embellishment.
