    Gup, Christian Clout, gup, Jack of the Vale!
    With Mannerly Margery Milk and Ale.
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes.
    Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)
