What I Said About John

My Dream, I Remember, When I Went To Boarding School, Was To Have A Study All My Own, A Little Nook Someplace Where Nobody Could Get At Me - Nobody, Like The Football Coach.

What I Said About John Was That He Liberated Me From My Anxieties About Writing In A Correct, Acceptable Way.

I Left Princeton, But I Graduated Harvard, In 1952.

Translation Is The Paradigm, The Exemplar Of All Writing.... It Is Translation That Demonstrates Most Vividly The Yearning For Transformation That Underlies Every Act Involving Speech, That Supremely Human Gift.

My Idea Was To Go To Vienna To Study Conducting And Perhaps Play In An Orchestra First, So I Thought Before I Got To Vienna I Could Do With A Little Training In Paris.
