I don't really understand that process called reincarnation but if there is such a thing I'd like to come back as my daughter's dog.

The birds they sangat the break of day.Start again!!I heard them say

If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.

I feel that, you know, the enormous luck I've had in being able to make a living, and to never have had to have written one word that I didn't want to write, to be able to have satisfied that dictum I set for myself, which was not to work for pay, but to be paid for my work - just to be able to satisfy those standards that I set for myself has been an enormous privilege.

I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.

I’ve seen the nations rise and fall. I’ve heard their stories, heard them all, but love’s the only engine of survival.
