Famous quotes containing the words irving and/or shapiro:

    The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    To girls and wives always alive and fated;
    To men and scholars always dead like Greek
    And always mistranslated.
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
