Dad used to read aloud to us from Dickens and Kipling. My tastes were omnivorous. I read anything I could lay my hands on, but the memory that stays with me is that of my father reading the Jungle Books to us when we were young. Beautiful stories! ↗

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. ↗

I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country. ↗
