yes, that's an accurate quote, can't deny it . . . but it's from an old book i have since revoked and which i have never (given the opportunity) reprinted——
like most such rhetorical instances of hyperbole, it's untrue and unbelievable——
please don't judge me based on three lousy lines i wrote four decades ago!
in any case, if someone wanted to read something else of mine,
i have posted all my books of poetry online
in pdf files which can be downloaded for free:
