John Updike Quotes
Beyond Doubt, I Am A Splendid Fellow. In The Autumn, Winter And Spring, I Execute The Duties Of A Student Of Divinity; In The Summer I Disguise Myself In My Skin And Become A Lifeguard. My Slightly Narrow And Gingerly Hirsute But Not Necessarily Unmanly Chest Becomes Brown. My Smooth Back Turns The Colour Of Caramel, Which, In Conjunction With The Whipped Cream Of My White Pith Helmet, Gives Me, Some Of My Teenage Satellites Assure Me, A Delightfully Edible Appearance. My Legs, Which I Myself Can Study, Cocked As They Are Before Me While I Repose On My Elevated Wooden Throne, Are Dyed A Lustreless Maple Walnut That Accentuates Their Articulate Strength. Correspondingly, The Hairs Of My Body Are Bleached Blond, So That My Legs Have The Pointed Elegance Of, Within The Flower, Umber Anthers Dusted With Pollen.
