Summary

This quote suggests that the person being referred to lived a transient and fragile existence, much like a candle flickering in the wind. It implies that their life was brief, constantly in flux, and prone to external influences. Like a candle's flame, their presence may have been beautiful and awe-inspiring, but ultimately fleeting and easily extinguished. It encapsulates the idea of a life characterized by temporary impact and vulnerability.

If, in the middle of World War II, a general could be writing a poem, then maybe I was not so irrelevant after all. Maybe the general was doing more for victory by writing a poem than he would be by commanding an army. At least, he might be doing less harm. By applying the same logic to my own condition consultant in poetry at the Library of Congress, I decided that I might be relevant in what I called a negative way. I have clung to this concept ever sincenegative relevance. In moments of vain-glory I even entertain the possibility that if my concept were more widely accepted, the world might be a better place to live in. There are a lot of people who would make better citizens if they were content to be just negatively relevant.

It is enough!

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
