And of course, I know she twigged when I was writing poems or bits of a
novel. She was so shrewd. I wrote in a college exercise book, and pushed
the book in the shelf among the others. But she knew, and she read the
things when I wasn’t there. Never did she say anything to me. Nor did I
say anything to her. She knew also I always took the scraps of writing
to Miriam. Poor Miriam, she always thought them wonderful: otherwise I
should never have gone on. But for her, I should probably never have
written—I never thought of myself as a writer, or of anything special at
all. I thought myself rather clever, after I had passed examinations,
but because I was not strong, I thought myself of rather less account
than most people: the weakling in health! And if I had never written, I
probably should have died soon. The being able to express one’s soul
keeps one alive.
