PARIS REVIEW: "Do you think that the optimal career for a poet would involve no work at all but writing and reading?

OOHHH!! Ain't that the truth!! Trust Thomas Stearns to come up with the nutshell! Y'know, I'm sure that, sometimes, we all feel like the 'Hollow Men' - heads full of straw - alas! Gotta be Monday morning!! Teller.
