There was a kind Lady called Gregory,
Said, ‘Come to me, poets in beggary,’
But found her imprudence
When thousands of students
Cried ‘All we are in that catégory!’
“Gide says somewhere that art and crime both require leisure time to flourish. I spend a lot of time thinking, if not daydreaming. People think of me as a genre writer, and a genre writer is supposed to be prolific. Since that’s how people perceive me, they have to say I’m prolific. But I don’t find that either complimentary or accurate.”
