—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“When a language creates—as it does—a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.”
—Christopher Ricks (b. 1933)
“In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”
