The Letters

Gore Vidal to Anaïs Nin:

“You are quite necessary to me as you know . . . I have adjusted myself to the fact that I shall never have a satisfying homosexual relationship. I am attracted to youth, to beauty, and separately, unphysically, to you, to the spiritual emotional rapport we have had. I need that more than the other. I cannot, and this is strange, do without women.”

Frank O’Hara to Larry Rivers:

“Someone who didn’t like me could say, ‘Sure, all you have to do is show him Larry Rivers or the sea, and out comes a poem;’ but really, I don’t see why one shouldn’t enjoy something in life if one can stand not enjoying so much else. it’s too bad you don’t imagine I understand you as well as I imagine you understand me, but we can’t have everything at the same time, thank god, or it would be too confusing . . .”
