Famous quotes containing the words charles and/or simic:

    Downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I’ve been up all night, talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles blues shout blind on the phonograph

    Right out of hell.
    It resembles a bird’s foot
    Worn around the cannibal’s neck.
