but it doesn't come out very well.
And Im always glad when one
I don't like, very honestly...
that Ive tried to like-
when he gets mad at me,
so I don't have to read him anymore.
- [Audience Laughs Loudly]
- Don't have to strive with him.
It's a funny World.
But Vachel was one of these
very disarming people...
very good boy...
and one of the real kind of...
genius, you can call it.
Call it- You could say there was
a little strangeness about him.
He was a little touched.
But you could call it divinely touched.
He had something very fine
about him, lofty...
and he did some very crazy things.
He knew how
to do 'em Without trying.
- [ Audience Laughs]
- He'd end up- There was- He was-
Some of these poets seemed to me
to get in a corner...
and gnaw their fingernails
and try to get a dark corner...
- and try to go crazy so they'd qualify.
- [Audience Laughs]
And there's none of that in Vachel.
He was crazy in his own right.
Some of the strangest things.
I ought to tell ya What you're
seeing here on this sideshow.
[Audience Laughs]
This is a documentary film going on.
And this- they've been in-
two or three of 'em,
for government purpose.
And they-
They've all been about me...
with a hoe, digging potatoes,
or walking in the Woods...
- reciting my own poems, which I-
- [Audience Laughs Loudly]
Something I don't-
I don't farm very much
for a good many years.
A little- I have a little garden.
But it's a false picture
that represents me...
or sayin' my own poems in the woods.
This time we're gonna have it right,
we're gonna have occasions...
like this Where Im with my crowd.
We're gonna have the crowd in it
and some other things.
They were with me
today on shipboard...
on the Essex,
the old carrier, you know.
I had eight grandchildren with me.
I mean great grandchildren.
Eight great grandchildren,
two families.
All between- I guess, between
nine and 10 and 12...
Maybe 10, 13, 14, one of them.
And I was with the commander.
And the old subject came up
of peace and war.
That's that category.
And I had to have another think at it.
That always means another say to it.
And I said to him,
Peace is something...
that you only get by war
or the threat of war...
however tacit the threat.
And he nodded grimly.
And that's something that
we all Want, the peace.
And we are all thinking about it.
Anything like that that bothers me
all the time or something comes up...
and I say a new one to it.
It appeases me for the moment.
But I'd had a fresh think.
The occasion-
a fresh think.
