The Appendix


It seems to me that our three basic needs – for food, security and love – are so mixed and mingled that we cannot think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and of the warmth of it…and then, the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger and love satisfied…and it is all one.
