“S. E. Smith's I Live in a Hut has a deceptively simple title, considering that the brain in that hut contains galaxies-worth of invention: At night when your soldiers are praying ceaselessly for less rain and more underwear my soldiers make underwear out of rain. These poems seesaw between despair and delight but delight is winning the battle.

“It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.”
“Everybody is great when things are great. It's the 'not great' stuff that matters.”
