I cannot look long
at any old photo-
graph of the city
without hearing some
music in the background.
The voice is the immigrant,
Charles Simic, a poet-laur-
eate of the United States,
born in Belgrade and living
in New Hampshire. He admits
to loving soccer, and I ad-
mit, I don't. The harp with-
in the city is our bridge.
