From Essays After Eighty, by Donald Hall

"I wrote poetry, but not for monetary reward.  for mortgage and food I produced magazine pieces about baseball and New Hampshire.  I could not do it now.  Only the New Yorker remains among magazines that pay enough to notice.  Esquire and the Atlantic and Harper's begin to collapse like Godey's Lady's Book.  Well, Playboy survives.  The good thing is that Playboy pays; the bad thing is nobody reads it."
