“But then people don’t read literature in order to understand; they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things; but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.”

“Your hand
skilled to yield death-blows, might break
With the slightest turn no ill will meant
my own lesser, yet still somewhat fine-wrought,
fiery-tempered, delicate, over-passionate steel.”
