I'm working on the world, revised, improved edition, featuring fun for fools blues for brooders, combs for bald pates, tricks for old dogs.

I'm old-fashioned and think that reading books is the most glorious pastime that humankind has yet devised.

I started earning a living as a poet rather early on.

I like being near the top of a mountain. One can't get lost here.

Well, one is inspired by the whole of life, one's own and somebody else's. You know how sometimes you hear great music, and music is completely untranslatable into words, into any words. A certain tension that is born when one listens to music could aid you in expressing something absolutely different.

I don't know the role I'm playing. I only know it's mine, non-convertible.

Carry on, then, if only for the moment that it takes a tiny galaxy to blink!
