Wallace Stegner Quotes
What Do You Mean, 'Angle Of Repose?' She Asked Me When I Dreamed We Were Talking About Grandmother's Life, And I Said It Was The Angle At Which A Man Or Woman Finally Lies Down. I Suppose It Is; And Yet ... I Thought When I Began, And Still Think, That There Was Another Angle In All Those Years When She Was Growing Old And Older And Very Old, And Grandfather Was Matching Her Year For Year, A Separate Line That Did Not Intersect With Hers. They Were Vertical People, They Lived By Pride, And It Is Only By The Ocular Illusion Of Perspective That They Can Be Said To Have Met. But He Had Not Been Dead Two Months When She Lay Down And Died Too, And That May Indicate That At That Absolute Vanishing Point They Did Intersect. They Had Intersected For Years, For More Than He Especially Would Ever Admit.
