When I talk of hearing a poet's voice speaking, I always think of it as in the presence of the man.
I don't think of myself all the time.
I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I'd throw them out.
I just didn't want to shoot other people.
When I was a teacher, teachers would come into my classroom and admire my desk on which lay nothing whatever, whereas theirs were heaped with papers and books.
A terrible thing about getting oldish is that your friends start dying, and in the last ten years I have lost seven or eight of my closest.
