Eudora Welty

But he wanted to leap up, so say to her, I have been sick and I found out then, only then, how lonely I am.  Is it too late?  My heart puts up a struggle inside me, and you may have heard it, protesting against emptiness… It should be full, he would rush on to tell her, thinking of his heart now as a deep lake, it should be holding love like other hearts.  It should be flooded with love.  There would be a warm Spring day… Come and stand in my heart, whoever you are, and a whole river would cover your feet and rise higher and take your knees in whirlpools, and draw you down to yourself, your whole body, your heart too.
