Food Quote Friday: Ronald Wallace

Buckets of thanks for the photo to Flickr user jackrusher.

"Sometimes I wish I had habits a man wouldn't kick,
faults a good man could be proud of.
I'd be an expatriate from myself,
all ink-pen and paper in a Paris café
where the waiters were elegant and surly,
the women relaxed and extravagant
with their bobbed hair and bonbons,
their perfumed Galoises,
their oysters and canapés,
and I'd be writing about war and old losses —"

— Ronald Wallace from "Literature in the 21st Century"
