    Each has his own tree of ancestors, but at the top of all sits Probably Arboreal.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    When I read a story, I relive the moment from which it sprang. A scene burned itself into me, a building magnetized me, a mood or season of Nature’s penetrated me, history suddenly appeared to me in some tiny act, or a face had begun to haunt me before I glanced at it.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
