Without a trace of irony I can say I have been blessed with brilliant enemies. I owe them a great debt because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions.

Each sudden gust of light explains itself as flames but neither they nor even bombs redoubled on the hills tonight can quite include me in their fear.
