Reading Ease

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or ease:

“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)

“That having ease me given,
With full delight,
I leave this light;
And take my flight
For Heaven.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
