J.D. Salinger Quotes

The Other Gift - A Book Of Poems, Called, "The Cowardly Morning" - Waner Put On Corinne's Desk At The Office, With A Note Saying, "This Man Is Coleridge And Blake And Rilke All In One, And More."
She Didn't Pick Up The Book Again Until She Was In Bed, Late That Night.
[...]
The First Poem Was The Title Poem. This Time Corinne Read It Through Aloud. But Still She Didn't Hear It. She Read It Through A Third Time, And Heard Some Of It. She Read It Through A Fourth Time, And Heard All Of It. It Was The Poem Containing The Lines:
'Not Wasteland, But A Great Inverted Forest
with All Foliage Underground.'
As Though It Might Be Best To Look Immediately For Shelter, Corinne Had To Put The Book Down. At Any Moment The Apartment Building Seemed Liable To Lose Its Balance And Topple Across Fifth Avenue Into Central Park. She Waited. Gradually The Deluge Of Truth And Beauty Abated.
- The Inverted Forest (1947)
