I've read everything he's written. I love his compilation of essays (though others might not like as much as his poetry or fiction). He's got about as much common sense and penetrating intelligence and wit as I've literally encountered...kind of like Montaigne in that way, though Montaigne not as delightfully so.(07-24-2014, 12:18 PM)NobodyNothing Wrote: ... You must be a fan of Jorge Luis Borges.

time is a fire that consumes me,

God I love great writers and thinkers.
Did you ever read Paul Valery's writings on poetry? They might be better than his poetry.
Anyway...I'm in love now, and feeling good. You'll have to excuse my manic effusiveness.
Mystic moon, silver host
Shimmering on the sea
Lure me to innermost
Tangled complicity...
You can't hate me more than I hate myself. I win.
