But I Hang On To Books. I

I Only Keep Books That I Like Very Much. Otherwise I'd Throw Them Out.

There Are Some Friends You Don't Meet For Twenty Years And When You Meet Them Again It's As If No Twenty Years Has Happened - You're Lucky When That Happens. I Feel The Same About Books.

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 Never Think About Poetry Except When I'm Writing It. I Mean My Poetry.

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.
