“I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes
and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is
percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing
in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now.”
Tennessee Williams, from a letter to Donald Windham wr. c. July 1943
