Joseph Brodsky Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: May 24, 1940 - January 28, 1996
Birthday: May 24
Death: January 28
It's rather an exhilarating feeling. It's 6 or 7 when you get up and go out into the fields wearing your Wellingtons or high boots. You know that at this very hour half the nation does the same thing, which gives you, with the benefit of hindsight, a satisfaction in doing those things, too, a knowledge, a sense of the nation. I was a city boy until then.
