Composition Written

Famous quotes containing the words composition and/or written:

“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“A classic is a book that doesn’t have to be written again.”
—Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)
