Wozu Dichter?

A. R. Ammons on a place to live.
MR: I'm think of the passage in Sphere beginning, "there is a faculty or knack . . ."

A: Isn't that a nice passage. I like that.

MR: It's lovely, it's one of my favorites.

A: Me, too. I'm glad you said that.

MR: Especially the line, "a brook in the mind that will eventually glitter away the seas . . ."

A: Isn't that something, I like that. That's what it's all about, it seems to me, to keep trying till you get to some place like that. And then, in a Heideggerian sense, it's a place you can live. You can live in that little passage.
