que ma passion était l'art. J'aimais le peintre français impressionniste Henri Rousseau et comme lui, je dessinais des scènes de jungle avec plein d'animaux. Mon obsession des serpents est arrivée très tôt. La première fois que ma mère m'a ammené à Big Sur en californie, pour visiter un ami et camper, j'avais six ans et j'ai passé des heures à attraper des serpents. (...)

Red pearls drip from the little wine-press, The jade fat of roasted dragon and phoenix sizzles And silken tapestries hold wafted fragrance . . . . Blow the dragon flute, sound the crocodile drum! Ah, singers with the dazzling teeth Slender dancing girls! Now our time is running out, spring slipping past, The peach blossom whirling down in a crimson rain, I urge you to drink and be merry the whole day long, For no wine will moisten the earth on a drunkard's tomb!
