"Short Talk on Major and Minor."
"Major things are: wind, evil, a good fighting horse,
prepositions, inexhaustible love,
the way people choose their king.
Minor things include dirt, the names of schools of philosophy,
mood and not having a mood, the correct time."
[LAUGHTER]
"There are more major things than minor things overall,
yet there are more minor things than I have written here,
but it is disheartening to list them."
[LAUGHTER]
"When I think of you hearing this,
I do not want you to be taken captive, separated by a wire
mesh lined with glass from your life
itself, like some Elektra."
