There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.
It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.
I find that whoever you are as a person is how you're gonna fight, and every basic instinct kind of comes out at that moment.
