J.D. Salinger Quote
It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'! old Phoebe said. It's a poem. By Robert Burns.I know it's a poem by Robert Burns.She was right, though. It is If a body meet a body coming through the rye. I didn't know it then, though.I thought it was 'If a body catch a body,' I said. Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around — nobody big, I mean — except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff — I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.
