    But I died yesterday,
    “Daddy,” I died,
    swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
    and it won’t get out
    it keeps knocking at my eyes,
    my big orphan eyes....

    Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
