I can't understand Urdu, Bahasa or Russian, but when the Pakistani Faiz, the Indonesian Rendra and the Russian Rosdentvensky declaim, I can feel the living throb of rhythm and music, the warmth and passion of their poetry, as do the hundreds, not a mere roomful, of poetry lovers in the audience.

Our communications reflect in our countenance...In matters of style, swim with the current...On the road from the City of Skepticism...This is no time for ease and comfort...I don't follow other players or the tournaments...Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive...
