The writers motivation

 

No good writer every lifted a pen

or tapped on a key board without feeling

some sense of ‘love’ for something.

 

For even in times of anger and rebellion the writer is always saying;

“O how I love!

I love,

I love.”

 

It is the reader’s task to figure out what it is that the writer loves.
