Needs Hem Mystery

More From Ernest Hemingway

I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. the whole life of us writers, the whole product i guess i mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. it's all the same poem. it doesn't belong to any one writer - it's god's poem perhaps. or god's people's poem.
Book Mean Long
I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

A successful poem says what a poet wants to say, and more, with particular finality. the remarks he makes about his poems are incidental when the poem is good, or embarrassing or absurd when it is bad and he is not permitted to say how the good poem is good, and may never know how the bad poem is bad. it is better to write about other people's poetry.

What i try to do is to go into a poem - and one writes them, of course, poem by poem - to go into each poem, first of all without having any sense whatsoever of where it's going to end up
Writing Trying Firsts
All knowledge is of itself of some value. there is nothing so minute or inconsiderable, that i would not rather know it than not. in the same manner, all power, of whatever sort, is of itself desirable. a man would not submit to learn to hem a ruffle, of his wife, or his wife's maid; but if a mere wish could attain it, he would rather wish to be able to hem a ruffle.
