Do not think me gentle <br />because I speak in praise <br />of gentleness, or elegant <br />because I honor the grace <br />that keeps this world. I am <br />a man crude as any, <br />gross of speech, intolerant, <br />stubborn, angry, full <br />of fits and furies. That I <br />may have spoken well <br />at times, is not natural. <br />A wonder is what it is.<br /><br />Wendell Berry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-warning-to-my-readers/
