Underrated? I thought he's widely considered one of the 20th century's towering figures, a master wordsmith, a genius, alongside Eliot but without the controversies.

A friend and I found ourselves walking through the Venice canals; we hadn't planned it. The jaunt is memorable because of the moment a purple package sitting atop a home's recycling bin simultaneously caught our attention.
