“Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.
For absurdity is reality, my loneliness unreal, my mind tired.
And I shall die an old Parisian.”

“Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?

And joined in thy innocent glee.”
