You go see your children first!
And then you worry about waiting
on line to see your brother --
like everybody else.
I remember how ancient I used
to suppose I would feel, by the
time a new vintage of a premier
grand cru would be decent to in-
vestigate. I have devastated
some very great vintages in
their 'teens.
The youth engaged in the craft
depicted here occupies a trust
which he learns not to breach
with haste. In this way he em-
bodies its steadiness, learns
anticipation and calm in the
same breath and mallet stroke.
We don't hear of 'statecraft'
any more. An idiot with a bor-
rowed opinion can captivate
our people and usually does.
'Gimme da biggest red ya got,'
he shouts, and we let him
have our boys.
