“Since I saw you I have been living as I never lived before.—I have gone through a great deal—some very painful hours—but all intensely real.—O’Keeffe is a constant source of wonder to me—like Nature itself—& all fine humans—there are some.—I know some.—And every moment I am full of gratefulness that I am a great fortunate.—O’Keeffe & I are One in a real sense.—The family like her hugely—& we are as free as 291—the real 291.—Everyone laughs at us.—We came up two weeks ago.—She painted some.—I photographed some more.—Some day I’ll show you.—We have no plans.—Every moment is a happy eternity—sometimes—rarely—the moment is of intensest pain—but even that turns into a great glory.—We are both either intensely sane or mad children.—It makes no difference” (Stieglitz to Arthur Dove, 15 August 1918; see Ann Lee Morgan, ed., Dear Stieglitz, Dear Dove [1988], 62).
