Special Constable

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or constable:

    In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    I do love thee as each flower
    Loves the sun’s life-giving power,
    For, dead, thy breath to life might move me.
    —Henry Constable (1562–1613)
