"Extracted from Gene Fowler’s letter to B. Fuller, dated June 13, 1967, San Francisco, California:
'Dear Bucky:
'Anne is a woman of considerable strength: she will not leave you to continue alone.
'I have known a long time that Anne’s strength, beauty, and grace were in your work. It makes sense that this skybreak bubble should be not a monument, but an embodiment of your love of her. Isn’t that love a carrier wave that brought her form and substance, her nature and patterning into and through you and into your visions and work? Isn’t a human being a thin, sparkling, transparent membrane reaching out and containing for a time some part of the Universe?
'Human beings are fragile skybreak bubbles, as vulnerable and quickly gone as a child’s soap bubbles in a bath. Yet, without vulnerability, there is no courage. Without mortality, there is no beauty or love, no reason to reach out and touch.
