I Left Princeton, But I Graduated Harvard,

My Dream, I Remember, When I Went To Boarding School, Was To Have A Study All My Own, A Little Nook Someplace Where Nobody Could Get At Me - Nobody, Like The Football Coach.

I Left Princeton, But I Graduated Harvard, In 1952.

I Also Had This Mistaken Dream, Fantasy Really - Perhaps Because I'm Good At Languages - Of Being Able In Both Italy And France To Become Someone Else Through My Fluency In The Language.

My Idea Was To Go To Vienna To Study Conducting And Perhaps Play In An Orchestra First, So I Thought Before I Got To Vienna I Could Do With A Little Training In Paris.

There Are Many Things I’ve Written That I Didn’t Really Understand Until A Long Time Later.
