Zbavitës dhe tragjik, i gjallë dhe poetik, me një ndikim të jashtëzakonshëm emocional, “Të kesh dhe të mos kesh” e ngre aventurën e madhe letrare në një nivel të ri.

But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining, and nothing to say, or smooth and well-oiled in the closet, but unused.'
