I was, rather, taken under his wing. As a grad student at b.u. in 1993. I found it too hard to keep up my end of the friendship; I always felt like I wasn't good enough to deserve his time. (Completely my fault.) Just listen to everything you can find of him; I hope he lives to be a thousand years old and the world will be better for it.

Thank you Professor Sir Christopher Ricks. Thank you.

His observation about Polonius being hidden "behind the arras of the line" in 'Prufrock' is really extraordinary.

I'd love to be taken under this wonderful man's wing.
