What is the whole quote?

[Picinisco]

Watched a program a couple of nights ago on Bukowski. There was a book that he gave to his friends. Each page had one word and it ran soemthing like "When the spirit fades... Something like all that is left is form.

What is the actual wording.

John

Excellent. Appreciate it. This says it all. If he wrote nothing else this would be enough.

henry i dont think this guy was suggesting that buk hadnt written anything more, i believe he meant that if this is all he had written, it would have said a hell of a lot more than many of his contemporarys.

nice sentiment.
