“I had to slow down. If I was going to listen to Venice properly I needed to hear the cadence of the place. I needed to stand still. I thought of Whitman observing the parade of humanity with lewd concentration. Walt had a good ear. He loved opera and knew how to sit perfectly still.” — Stephen Kuusisto
