Looking It in the Face by Charles Simic | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books

Looking It in the Face by Charles Simic | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books:

 "Of course, I never really believed it would happen. Grow old, I mean. I knew it was coming, saw the evidence of it in my friends and relatives, but despite that, I acted as if aging had nothing to do with me. Even having people congratulate me on my seventy-fifth birthday doesn’t sound right to me. "
