Silence, exile, cunning and so on... it's my nature to keep quiet about most things. Even the ideas in my work.

Silence is not quiet.

A silent mouth is sweet to hear

Quiet is here and all in me. ("Dress of White Silk")

I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.

It occured to me that eating is the only form of professionalism most people ever attain.
