Unknown. Sister

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or sister:

    [The pleasures of writing] correspond exactly to the pleasures of reading, the bliss, the felicity of a phrase is shared by writer and reader: by the satisfied writer and the grateful reader, or—which is the same thing—by the artist grateful to the unknown force in his mind that has suggested a combination of images and by the artistic reader whom his combination satisfies.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    For she has made me the laily worm
    That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
    An’ my sister Masery she’s made
    The machrel of the sea.
    —Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)
