I Used To Fish The Border Rivers,

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.

I Used To Have A Great Love For Dostoyevsky And Tolstoy, The Big Boys Of The Last Century.

I Learned Words, I Learned Words; But Half Of Them Died From Lack Of Exercise. And The Ones I Use Often Look At Me With A Look That Whispers, Liar.

However, I Learned Something. I Thought That If The Young Person, The Student, Has Poetry In Him Or Her, To Offer Them Help Is Like Offering A Propeller To A Bird.

I'm Very Gregarious, But I Love Being In The Hills On My Own.
