"Delmore's mother reacted to the announcement with even less enthusiasm; she threatened to kill herself. How could her son abandon her in this cruel way? she wailed, working on his guilt. (A few years later, she would greet Kenneth's marriage with the declaration: 'He would have been better off in Buchenwald than married to that woman.')"
~~ from James Atlas's Delmore Schwartz: The Life of an American Poet
