Composition Written

Famous quotes containing the words composition and/or written:

“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“The written word still enjoyed a certain prestige here. It was a sluggish country.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
