    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “The poet is the person in whom these powers are in balance, the man without impediment, who sees and handles that which others dream of, traverses the whole scale of experience, and is representative of man, in virtue of being the largest power to receive and to impart.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
