More From Dave Eggers

And then he drew a dial from his poke, and looking with lack-lustre eye, says very wisely, 'it is ten o'clock: thus we may see', quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'tis but an hour ago since it was nine, and after one hour more 'twill be eleven; and so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, and then from hour to hour we rot and rot.

Certainly, from where i stand, i'm not a specialist in wildly different walks and voices. but i find as much variation and nuance as what satisfies me in what i do. so, i don't find this particularly different. he has his own peculiarities. you're probably talking about a cluster of englishmen in suits but i've done quite a big cluster of guys not in suits as well, which i've occupied myself with. so, i don't find that this is the one that stands out.

I was okay with singing. i always sneak a song into everything i do. dancing, a little awkward. little embarrassed about that. i don't move well. but i was with a frog, so it doesn't matter. i'll do anything with a frog, that's my motto. he's great with tap-dancing or flap-dancing on my head. so no one's going to be looking at me when we're doing that dance. they're going to be saying, 'there's a frog dancing'.

I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.

I become the stars and the moon. i become the lover and the beloved. i become the victor and the vanquished. i become the master and the slave. i become the singer and the song. i become the knower and the known. i keep on dancing then, it is the eternal dance or creation. the creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. i keep on dancing and dancing...and dancing. until there is only...the dance.

Very honest, i hope. god, i don't know. i hope i'm fun, i hope i am a good time. spontaneous, surprising, affectionate? i hope, kind. dancing a lot of dancing. i insist upon dancing. anywhere. anytime. the more dancing, the better
