  2. Raymond Carver _ Cathedral

He said, 'Don't stop now. Draw.' So we kept on with it. His fingers rode my fingers as my hand went over the paper. It was like nothing else in my life up to now.Then he said, 'I think that's it. I think you got it,' he said. 'Take a look. What do you think?'But I had my eyes closed. I thought I'd keep them that way for a little longer. I thought it was something I ought to do.'Well?" he said. 'Are you looking?'My eyes were still closed. I was in my house. I knew that. But I didn't feel like I was inside anything.'It's really something,' I said.
