By the time Rita Carrol gets there he鈥檚 in the hospital, wounded, or not a hospital really but just a tent and she tells him she loves him and Claude Barron says, 鈥淚 went into the desert to forget about you. But the sand was the color of your hair. The desert sky was the color of your eyes. There was nowhere I could go that wouldn鈥檛 be you.鈥� And then he dies. Tessie cried buckets. Her mascara ran, staining the collar of her blouse something awful.”

“Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them鈥攊f you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful, reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
