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.
I never had the sense that there was an end: that there was a retirement or that there was a jackpot.
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.
I was born in a suit.
The older I get, the surer I am that I'm not running the show.
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico GarcΓa Lorca.
