Description
"This book from start to finish is a study in the passing of time. And it is the passing of the writer in the course of time. We who remain as readers - you and I - imagine another time and another place. We then move on to what is to come next."--BOOK JACKET. "An artifact of a lived experience, this is a document of a life lived in the course of a decade. The writing - the process of writing - was part of the living. In some cases, the writing was the living, and made the living possible."--BOOK JACKET. "Throughout the book are lines from W. H. Auden's oratorio poem titled "For the Time Being." As a mantra that runs through the book: The time being is all the time we have. It is the most trying time of all. We seek daily to redeem it from insignificance. Thus the attention given to this everyday life."--BOOK JACKET.
