Then his small, blue eyes, straining to see an idea in the distance, blinked, glanced smoothly up and down. The glitter of prophecy faded. He shrugged: \u201cLost it.\u201d He exposed his palms and then pocketed his hands in his trousers. I held my breath and counted ten before I offered my soft, apologetic suggestion: \u201cBut aren\u2019t you really saying that Sartre thinks Man is \u2026\u00a0\u201d and I filled in the blank with the closest approximation I could invent, not of Sartre\u2019s thought but of Tommy\u2019s dubious interpretation of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-2-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-129497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-2-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-2-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-2-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed-2-3-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/poetry\/6863\/autumn-jane-hirshfield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/theparisreview.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3Db6c161007733f0d4c084f3fde%26id%3D30f237289c%26e%3D22801f508d&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1537798900465000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGsJ0oMy35oh-eZWrcTchI3_mpcug\">Autumn<\/a><br \/>\nBy Jane Hirshfield<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 109 (Winter 1988)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Again the wind<br \/>\nflakes gold-leaf from the trees<br \/>\nand the painting darkens\u2014<br \/>\nas if a thousand penitents<br \/>\nkissed an icon<br \/>\ntill it thinned<br \/>\nback to bare wood,<br \/>\nwithout diminishment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like what you read, <a href=\"https:\/\/ssl.drgnetwork.com\/ecom\/TPR\/app\/live\/subscriptions?org=TPR&amp;publ=PR&amp;key_code=EDTNS17&amp;type=S&amp;gift_key=TESTFXG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get a year of<\/a> The Paris Review\u2014four new issues, plus instant access to everything we\u2019ve ever published. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every week, the editors of\u00a0The Paris Review\u00a0lift the paywall on a selection of interviews, stories, poems, and more from the magazine\u2019s archive.
