"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Chant.

Harold Bloom joins Paul Holdengräber for a discussion LIVE from the NYPL. Now in his eighth decade, Bloom reflects back on his life-long love affair with literature and recites some of his favorite poems. In a far-ranging conversation, he revisits his classic work of literary criticism, The Anxiety of Influence. Bloom also discusses Till I End My Song, his recent collection of poems, and his career-spanning "critical self-portrait" The Anatomy of Influence.

Go by yourself to a quiet place and just chant ...
