My little beast, my eyes, my favorite stolen egg. Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In pe...
My prior experience with young men was to hear them swear 'Christ almighty in the craphouse!' at any dress with too many buttons.
My thoughts kept straying onto random paths...hoping to get lost in a thicket.
No matter what affronts of youthful insolence he had to face in his day, he'd still have that: he was a man taken care of by a woman.
No one seemed to realize calculating sums requires only the most basic machinery and good concentration. Poetry is far more difficult. And palindromes, with their perfect, satisfying taste: Draw a lev...
No other continent has endured such an unspeakably bizarre combination of foreign thievery and foreign goodwill.
