I must confess that I read his text in a rush with hungry curiosity and a kind of inner dread constantly driven by the desire to say to him Eugene Nacht I believe that page after page you challenge the reader to accept without comment your version skillfully crafted after more than half a century of tireless travels on the meridians of art.
