[ilds] KNAUSGAARD MENTIONS LD

[Charles Sligh]

Dear Ken:

That is a paraphrase of Pursewarden's advice to Clea.

“I can only tell you what I know, and it isn’t much. First you have to know
and understand intellectually what you want to do — then you have to
sleep-walk a little to reach it."

*Clea* (II)


Be well!

Charles
