Of course the famous mud fight with MClinctock
I know, I know. I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in forty years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The *hell* I won't! |

I hate my verses, every line, every word.
Oh pale and brittle pencils ever to try
One grass-bladeâs curve, or the throat of one bird
That clings to twig, ruffled against white sky.

âWhereas the truth is that fullness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapidity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.â
