Somehow, I had missed out on Quentin Crisp until about 10 years ago...at which point I wondered how that had been possible. A true eccentric of the first order, meaning he was incredibly brilliant to me. In a world of general blandness, the special souls are missed by me the most...be it a Quentin Crisp or a Richard Feynman. Thankfully we have the written words, if nothing else, to continue to bring those lightning flashes across the dull gray sky of our civilization.
