Excerpt: In my youth, I would often hear my teachers declare with pride, “I was the student of this artist, this great economist, this political thinker, this poet.” And those pronouncements did not mean anything to me. I was young. I cared about nothing, and even matters of great consequence would have slipped through my innocent, if not ignorant, hands. To paraphrase A.E. Housman, “I was young and not even twenty, no use talking to me.”
