"The door open on the sand; the door open on exile." \[Saint-John Perse\] A professional career immersed in the literature of two languages and so countless different nations should make it difficult to pick a favourite quote. When we ask Gresham Professor of Rhetoric, Belinda Jack, to name hers she didn't hesitate at all.
