Appearing with Miss Fontaine is the talented young actor John Lund and now Academy Award. There is such a thing as hunger for more than food and that was the hunger I fed on. Yes, there's another kind of suffering for the artist, which is worse than anything a winter or poverty can do.

It's more like a winter of the mine in which the life of his genius, the living sap of his work seems frozen and motionless, caught perhaps forever in a season of death. And who knows if spring will ever come again to set it free.

One evening in the winter of 1938, I was walking home to a central park. At night I was at the bottom, without money or friends, cold and hungry and tired, without hope. I crossed the drive and started down the long deserted corridor of the mall.
