How I got my song – Leonard Cohen’s Prince Of Asturias Speech

Richard Brisebois Ling- English, Video 2011-10-282012-09-21 1 Minute

Following his nomination for the Prince of Asturias award.

Poetry comes from a place that no one commands, that no one conquers. So I feel somewhat like a charlatan to accept an award for an activity which I do not command. In other words, if I knew where the good songs came from I would go there more often.
