Edgar Allan Poe

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.

I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.

The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

In my own life, I believe it was an early education in poetical metaphor that helped me to grapple with and make sense of all the difficult and traumatic things that were to come.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.
