what it is like to have a work of art come right out of you. I think we like that a lot.It is a particular pleasure, to say, I want to recite this to you. And it is a risk. And it's a nobler form of the risk when you're going to tell somebody a joke. If I start, "Love at the lips was touch as sweet as I could bear, and once I lived on air," it is a little bit like saying, the pope, a zebra and an optometrist go into a bar.
