If I Fished Only To Capture Fish,

I Can Write Best In The Silence And Solitude Of The Night, When Everyone Has Retired.

It Was A Decent New Year's, But It Took A Million Officers To Make It So.

Every Once In A While I Feel The Tremendous Force Of The Novel. But It Does Not Stay With Me.

There Are Always Greater Fish Than You Have Caught, Always The Lure Of Greater Task And Achievement, Always The Inspiration To Seek, To Endure, To Find.

I Need This Wild Life, This Freedom.
