Salutations to Reynolds Price on the anniversary of his birth.
1 February, 1933
“I sleep long nights with few hard dreams, and now I’ve outlived both my parents. Even my handwriting looks very little like the script of the man I was in June of ‘84. Cranky as it is, it’s taller, more legible, with more air and stride. It comes down the arm of a grateful man.”
