In our rags of light, all dressed to kill. - Leonard Cohen

"The Dream"

"O I had such a wonderful dream, she said. I dreamed you made love to me.
At last, he said to himself, the spirit
has taken up some of the heavy work."

All things can be done
whisper museum ovens of
a war that freedom won.

I feel that, you know, the enormous luck I've had in being able to make a living, and to never have had to have written one word that I didn't want to write, to be able to have satisfied that dictum I set for myself, which was not to work for pay, but to be paid for my work — just to be able to satisfy those standards that I set for myself has been an enormous privilege.
