Tale Heart

Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or heart:

    “In the tale proper—where there is no space for development of character or for great profusion and variety of incident—mere construction is, of course, far more imperatively demanded than in the novel.”

    “O pale, pale now, those rosy lips,
    I aft hae kissed sae fondly;
    And closed for ay, the sparkling glance
    That dwalt on me sae kindly;
    And moldering now in silent dust
    That heart that lo’ed me dearly!”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
