External Mantle

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or mantle:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    But look, the morn in russet mantle clad
    Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
