Hugh Magnus

Famous quotes containing the words hugh and/or magnus:

    There one that ruffled in a manly pose
    For all his timid heart, there that slow man,
    That meditative man, John Synge, and those
    Impetuous men, Shawe-Taylor and Hugh Lane,
    Found pride established in humility,
    A scene well set and excellent company.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A pathological business, writing, don’t you think? Just look what a writer actually does: all that unnatural tense squatting and hunching, all those rituals: pathological!
    —Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
