“I am starting a collection of only right-hand gloves. It’s ever so bourgeois to have two.”
“Black moleskin gloves covered his hands; the right because it was burned, the left because a man felt half a fool wearing only one glove.”
“People always say I have hands as large as the Roman Empire. I guess it just goes with the territory. Romance, it’s all in the gloves.”
“I stand between two worlds. I am at home in neither, and I suffer in consequence. You artists call me a bourgeois, and the bourgeois try to arrest me...I don't know which makes me feel worse.”
“It’s hardly ever that I am hurt by something in only one dimension.”
“You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head, darling. It’s only that.”
