“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”

“The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”
