After I wrote this I came across a reference to a piece of criticism by T.S. Eliot in a recent Substack essay by What To read If. The line seems somehow relevant here, so I thought I'd share it: 'the artist “out of his own personality, build[ing] a world of art,” as Eliot describes it.’ The essay is here: https://open.substack.com/pub/whatoreadif/p/what-to-read-if-youre-roaming-the?r=2u2cxe&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

And now another new Substack piece with a line that speaks so much to the topic of this essay that I wanted to share it with readers here:

‘“Every death is like the burning of a library,” said Alex Haley, adapting an African proverb.’

From Rona Maynard's deeply moving essay at https://open.substack.com/pub/ronamaynard/p/what-i-wish-i-could-tell-my-gay-boyfriend?r=2u2cxe&utm_medium=ios
