That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.” “All those writers who write about their childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn’t sit in the same room with me.” “Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game.” “The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.” |
