Chekhov's Letters (3. 23. 95)
By all means I will be married if you wish it. But on these conditions: everything must be as it has been hitherto--that is, she must live in Moscow while I live in the country, and I will come and see her. Happiness continued from day to day, from morning to morning, I cannot stand. When every day I am told of the same thing, in the same tone of voice, I become furious. I am furious, for instance, in the society of S., because he is very much like a woman ("a clever and responsive woman") and because in his presence the idea occurs to me that my wife might be like him. I promise you to be a splendid husband, but give me a wife who, like the moon, won't appear in my sky every day; I shan't write any better for being married....

A Ceramic Reality (Larry Shep)
Long Beach Art Museum. Larry Shep (who studied with Voulkos). Near the parking lot and Ocean Blvd. Reminds me somehow of our world and also something Rilke wrote in his letters just before he died (if I can find it, I'll post).
