1. Maggie Nelson describes writing as “a hard and passing rain. It, too, kills the time.” This is a statement about writing; I’m more interested in it as a statement about rain. Does she mean that time is something rain can do? Can other weathers do this?
2. People speak of “sunlight filling the room.” Always the obtrusive guest. What I feel in such a room is more akin to an emptiness, brought in by light.
3. Writing does both.
